Today I wore my pink version of the 1960 Butterick dress. I’m so happy with how this dress came out and I know it’s going to be one I wear loads this summer. I made it with some fabric I bought on Ebay and trimmed it with pale pink bias binding.
My favourite pattern, next time I’d like to try the version with the cut out neckline.
Today I also bought some vintage pillowcases from a charity shop which I’m hoping to use to make some tops. They’re currently in the wash so I’ll add some pics tomorrow.

July 29, 2013 at 9:08 amI’m making this dress in sewing and I wanted to put a tulle under layer like you have. How did you do it?

July 29, 2013 at 9:23 amI stitched in a petticoat which I bought on eBay. Have a look on there, however it would be pretty easy to make your own and stitch it in.
