Lady day, that is so lovely I'm sure the recipient will be thrilled !
Stunning. The alterations are perfect!Inky said:I didn't make this all - it's from Vermont Country Store actually, but I did take it in at the waist, and cut off nearly 6 inches from the hem and made a belt using Dritz belting and a vintage white buckle. I think it looks much better than the original and I hope you do too.

Lady Day said:I finally finished this dress. A friend wanted me to make a vintage piece for his wife. They are expecting their first child. I helped him buy the pattern, and picked out the fabric. It was also my first time working with a maternity pattern.
Its such a cute dress. The collar is detachable, and the belt tie casing is sewn beneath the back of the dress. I also added a little embroidery on the jacket (linen). The dress is a cotton calico. The buttons are wood.
It has to be one of the most labor intensive garments Ive ever made. I think it was the pleats, though. Im going to send it out Monday, I hope she likes it
