Finally, a FO post. I hadn’t expected to wear this dress until Spring, but it’s warm enough to wear a short-sleeved, cotton dress with no stockings. This weather is killing me! I also finished a flannel Macaron, but it hasn’t been cold enough to wear it. On to the deets!
McCall’s 6139 is from 1961 and is a good example of the differences between 1950′s fashions and early 1960s fashion. It has the slightly raised waist and short skirt that signal the 60′s, but the cut-on sleeve that was in style in the 50′s. I love these transitional styles!
This dress is made in a cotton twill from my stash. I’m not sure the high neckline works in in this dress but I like everything else about this dress.

So cute!
Thanks!
Love the color combination and the embroidery. I might have to fight you for the belt though. It really takes the dress up a notch.
Beautiful. Your sewing and dress style are such an inspiration to me Andrea.
I love this dress. And the monogram and stitching on the hem…just make it.. Love that you added the green color..wonderful.Looks great on you.
I so agree..we are having weird weather here in Ms. too.. It was 60 degrees On Monday.And today it is snowing???????/// who knows.ha
It’s very cute and I really like the colours!
Gorgeous! The lime green really sings out. I have machine embroidery envy.
Love the dress with the embroidery accents, very flattering. But what I really love it’s the hair and makeup, very pretty!
Everything about this dress is awesomesauce!
