Navy linen pants using Lauren's sportswear pattern! I used a cheapie 70s halter pattern to make the top. Ignore the cord being tied all uneven.

Oh my gosh! SO cute! You made them up perfectly!
Thank you!! I'm glad you like them! Whenever I get around to posting the outfit on my blog I'll make sure to point everyone to your shop! They were so easy to make and I wear them all the time.

That is such a gorgeous outfit Cici! I love the fabric and style of the top also. A lovely outfit for summer, and I LOVE your tattoos, especially the sunflower.

This is a little bag I made a few months ago, I decided not to embellish it much so everyone could see the beautiful fabric.

i researched the pattern and it is from the 60's
i couldn't find the date on the pattern it's self.

I just finished this dress, based on a vintage swimsuit top pattern.
I had to grade it up from bust 36 to bust 42, at first I was just going
to make a muslin, but was so pleased with the fit I added a skirt.
this will be fun to wear tonight!

Nicholeann,your dress came out great! I'm usually a mess when I've been sewing all day.It can be pretty exhausting, believe it or not.

This is the first 30's outfit or dress that my husband has commented on, so I think it's a keeper! The skirt was made from the skirt pieces of my favorite dress, the blouse is New York 2766.

The white blouse looks nice and will go with plenty of skirts. Isn't it great when the fellas notice (and like) your new creation! I wore my newest dress out dancing Friday and got asked more than usual. No actual comments on the dress, but something must have been right.
