Vintage dress - Mail order pattern 4638

Taking advantage of the rising temperature and the flowers making everything around here a bit prettier, I'm interrupting the upcycling series (sort of...) to show off my new dress.

 
I got this mail order pattern from Etsy, it was complete with the instructions

And here the result:

And what about this "invisible" ziper?

   


And it's sort of an upcycle, too, because the fabric for the bodice was a bedsheet! :D You'd never guess, right? I certainly hope not! THe fabric for the skirt was also thrifted - it's a heavy knit material that has an orange thread on the weft that picks up the orange in the flowers, unfortunately it's hard to see from the pics.

I loved this pattern and hope to get to it again, after I finish the many projects I have lined up. I think it would look lovely with a full skirt.

Be well
