The Raspberry Dress



This dress is made from Simplicity 3673, a re-issue1950s pattern. It's my very first dress in pink since, well, maybe when I was about 10. But I really love it.

The sizing of this pattern is rather generous. I made a size smaller than usual and still had to tuck away quite a bit around the waist and hips. You  can also see two lovely versions of this dress on Gertie's Blog.

Here is another photo of the bright yellow skirt lining that always makes me happy when I put on my dress:



If you are interested in working with this pattern yourself you can also check out my review of the pattern on patternreview.com. Happy sewing!
