Sheer 30's Dress

Sheer 30's Dress

So I found this vintage pattern website awhile ago,
and bought a few patterns.
This one was my fav, the only prob is that it was 2 sizes too big.

So I put off making it for a long time.
Re-sizing patterns is the worst.
Real time consuming.
But when I found the perfect fabric,
(black floral silk, and teal poly blend)
I decided to start on the pattern.
I love the contrast of sheer black and teal.

I altered the pattern, and made a little teal back cut out.
Love it.

    This is such a lovely dress. Excellent choice of fabric. And love the back, scrunched and slit. Any suggestions on resizing patterns? Thanks, Heidi.

    "Awesome to the max!" (-your husband) You should go on that show with Heidi Klum--Project Runway! I'm pretty sure you'd kill the competition.
