1950's Rockabilly Dress

A vintage take on a dress

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/1950s-rockabilly-dress • Posted by danielle s.

This is my first attempt at sewing a dress. I'm pretty happy at the result. The dress is super easy to make. Basically a four piece bodice, three front pieces with one back piece. I put elastic in the back to hug the dress closer to the bodice. Then a circle skirt attached with lace all around :).

You will need

3 metres of cotton fabric
2.5 metres of white cotton fabric (for under skirt and lining)
sewing machine
6metres of lace
