Introducing.....my retro dress!
Simplicity had a retro section in their book and I REALLY REALLY wanted to make this dress. (Despite my mother trying to convince me it was "weird.") haha!
It was really easy. I think that the bias tape all around the edges makes it look really fabulous. :)
I'm also finding that I have and obsession with gray and yellow at this moment. I had the gray and yellow leaf fabric and then I was trying to find something to match. I had a different yellow and then I happened to look over in the clearance and this adorable yellow and white fabric was there for only 2.99 per yard! Hurray for deals! It was also supposed to have snaps where these two front pieces meet but I didn't really feel comfortable with that. (What if I wanted to eat a brownie?) So eventually I went with buttons and ribbons. 
It was so fun to make and the full skirt makes me so happy! :)
(This is my "concentrated on spinning" face.)
