Summer Sewing Project 4 – Return of the Vintage Dress

Vintage Dress version 2

I finally have some photos of the second vintage dress, even if it’s just on the hanger and not on me. This one is all kinds of crazy loud!!

The tiny print I used for the yoke and the pockets both tones it down and makes it crazier. That tiny print ended up being a little bit heavier fabric than the other fabric, or the fabric from the other dress. Because of that, the top of this one is a bit stiffer when I have it on, which isn’t great. But this is definitely a less fancy version of this dress compared to the other one, so I’m okay with that.

My main problem is that this dress does not look right without appropriate jewelry. It NEEDS a big, long, chunky wooden necklace. Something like this, maybe? The other dress could use that too, but I get around the problem by wearing that orange flower pin. I don’t have any alternatives for this dress. I’ve been looking around and haven’t found anything yet. Let me know if you see anything anywhere that would work!

    I totally endorse the craziness of this dress! I like those wooden beads – I’d check target too, they’re usually good for stuff like that, and sometimes forever21.

  • Wow, what a cool dress! I love the contrasting fabrics, and the fun cut of this one! A big chunky necklace would look perfect with this. I bet it’s going to be great fun to wear this one out.
