Vintage inspired dressmaking. The 50s full circle dress


Being a lover of vintage fashion, I could not have left this gorgeous 50s dress out of my teaching schedule. Glamorous, feminine and playful, this dress is a favourite with my clients. Whether you are an intermediate sewer or a beginner who has mastered straight stitching and made some basic items, you can successfully complete this project in the three 3 hour sessions course I offer. I have chosen to make a summer version of it in this beautiful printed cotton fabric I stumbled upon while rummaging through the shelves of my local fabric shop, but this dress lends itself to a wider variety of light to medium weight fabrics, depending on the season or occasion you'd like it for. I am feeling inspired to make another one in a dark medium weight denim to achieve a more dramatic bold effect. I'll make sure to keep you posted on the final results!
