Little Prints Dress {Improved}
July 10th, 2011 | By Jen in Sewing, Vintage | 13 Comments »
You may remember this dress from a post earlier last year. I loved how it turned out but found it too skimpy for me to wear outside of the house. Problem was, I didn’t have any more vintage hankies in the same colorway to add to it; I really think the key to this dress not looking too patchwork-y or hippie-ish is limiting the hankies to a common color palette and design theme (florals with a lot of white space). When I finally found a few more hankies that fit the bill I removed the 3-hankie skirt. I added a 4th hankie to make the skirt fuller then added a smaller tier of 3 hankies (which were cut down to 4″ tall) on top. Now it’s much, much better in my opinion! To complete the look I tied an olive green silk satin ribbon around my waist to give it shape; the un-belted view sort of has a ’20s vibe to it which is nice too. (By the way, I’m wearing a vintage white slip underneath since it’s still quite sheer.) I think this crocheted cardigan would look nice on top for when it gets a bit chilly in the evenings.
Yellow flowers for Monday.
