Vintage Swing Dress
I've been chubby since last fall, honestly, I've eaten way too much pie and ice cream and pizza and cake. My husband is my worst enabler, and with the stress of house hunting we often have no choice but to order take out as we sit, anxiously waiting to hear back as to whether we've lost out on yet another bidding war (and yeah, we always lose). Not surprisingly I have a hardcore shortage of summer friendly clothing, hence the Zulily shopping spree. I only ended up with two wearable dresses from Zulily, they cancelled my other dress order on me - bastards! Fed up, I decided I'd make my own dresses instead. So I scoured my pattern collection and found a cute summer friendly looking dress from the 1950's. It's an Anne Adams dress, and I wouldn't be surprised if you've never heard the name before, it's one of the many mail order pattern companies from the olden days. Sometimes you can find these patterns for cheaper online than a Simplicity or McCall's because the brand isn't as identifiable. They also tend to be unmarked patterns which is kind of a pain in the ass and might put off some buyers. This is the second mail order pattern I've tackled, this being the far more successful attempt of the two.
