I was walking through a store with my best friend when I saw this beautiful yellow poke-a-dot fabric, and I just had to get it! At first, I wasn't sure that I would use this vintage sewing pattern for a 1930s full-length gown, but I decided to try it anyways, and I'm glad I did! My best friend didn't like the fabric when she saw it at first, but when I showed her the final project, she loved it! I also made this pattern in another kind of fabric, and the dress came out perfectly that time too! I bought half a yard of black fabric to make the bows in black for contrast, and the bows paired beautifully against the yellow poke-a-dot fabric! I would totally make it again!
