I made a dress! 0505 FABIENNE Shirtdress by Fitzpatterns. My first dress, this was easier to make after 2 attempts at sewing clothing.

I love this dress (really just a very long shirt) and received quite a lot of compliments for it. This was made with a linen-polyester blend and took me 2 days to complete. One day to cut and serger, another day after about 2 weeks to put it together.

I’m suddenly obsessed with 50s dresses and can only think of Erin of Dress a Day and Trista of Sugardale or watching Mad Men to blame for all the rage. I recently just bought 3 (and got 1 free) patterns from Antique Doll house of Patterns (Anita, the owner was extremely helpful through her chat helpline on her site) and I cannot wait for them to arrive!!
