I bought it too, and wasn't sure how well I'd like it made up. I sure am glad I bought it now that I see it in the flesh, so to speak. It's really cute. Great dress GG!

goldwyn girl, your dress is gorgeous and I LOVE the fabric. I have this pattern but have never made it as I am not sure how to solve the underwear problem bra wise. Does it have much support inside?

Thank you again everyone for your comments. Those of you with the pattern should make it up, I'm sure you won't be sorry. As for support, it has none built in I wear mine with a halter bra and it's fine.

goldwyn girl said:fluffy-tiger, the bra's are amazing. I will have to find a pattern to make my own. I havn't been doing much sewing lately, mostly house stuff but I did want to show this dress
Which was from this pattern
Wow this dress looks amazing. I've looked at this pattern time and time again and have never really been convinced it would look that great. However seeing it made up you've changed my mind! I shall have in invest in it when I get more time.

Our dear ShooShooBaby suggested I make a skirt with patch pockets red top stitching and a front kick pleat out of this fabric....
I met her half way
A skirt with a front kick pleat, inset pockets and red velvet applique!
This was fun, but my iron broke half way through the project (I dropped it...), so I had to go out and get a new one. So instead of this taking half a day it took most of the day!
Here is a detail of the center seam.
Here are the flowers. I think the buttons are celluloid. They were old and crispy and needed a good washing first. I used some velvet scraps from an old project and wonder under (yay!) to hold it down so I could top stitch it. Gotta love that button hole stitch!
Thanks ladies!

Fluffy Tiger- Great work. I love the bras, they are so cute.
RHRH-I love Pinafore dresses and that look lovley on you.
Goldwyn Girl-You look great as always and I adore that fabric.
Kamikat-I really like your dress. Is it a vintage pattern. None of my old hawaiian dresses fit me anymore.

I made these hats. My pics sort of suck so it's hard to tell what they look like.
This dress was supposed to have sleeves but I had trouble with the directions. The zippers a bit wonky and the dress clips are covering the part of the sleeve I messed up. I am going to try it again though in an easier to work with fabric.

Thanks Joie. All but one pattern I ever knitted was vintage. I have never had any trouble with them. Maybe I am just used to vintage?

I'm not sure if this question has already been asked Honey Doll, but do you have a pattern make & number that you made this from? Thanks!
