I LOVE dresses....ESPECIALLY Retro dresses! Floaty dresses!

April Cornell's lovely frock, based on a 1920's design! Note the dropped curved waist and softly gathered skirt!

For everyday, a cotton calico print with a high waist...so comfortable! From April Cornell again, though on sale, these dresses are now only available in extra small....so I will sew some dresses myself!


Found some inspiration on THIS BLOG. And her most often used pattern....

Simplicity 1577 from 1956!

A dress a day, doing 100 dresses! Why not?

I found several retro patterns...real antiques now....and have ordered them!

I also found a web page of like-minded creative souls ....."We Sew Retro"! Fabulous!

I already have several dress lengths of wonderful cottons, so once my patterns arrive, I can begin these!

I won't be doing one every day though! LOL!
