A House Dress Re-Imagined

Hello everyone! I go by ladykatza (or Lady K) and my blog is Peanut Butter Macramé. I will be working on a house dress pattern from the 1940's. I have actually been searching for a pattern like this since seeing Ralph Lauren's Spring 2010 collection. Here's the pattern:



I do not yet have the fabric, but I will be doing the 3/4 sleeve version out of a cotton poplin or similar fabric. The pattern instructions call for bound buttonholes so I think I might just cut my teeth on those for the first time. I'll be searching for fabric and post it here soon. Happy Sewing!

    Shirtdresses are so chic! Are you making it in a plain or check?
