    Vintage Waitress Outfits

    That's great! Love it! If it's a pretty simple pattern, I could maybe figure it out? Well here's the black dress I have that I got from Sunny. It's a wool jersey. Oh, this will be fun in the 90 degree weather we will probably have that day! But maybe I could add to it.
