New Look Dress in Wool Crepe

New Look Dress in Wool Crepe
Winter-weight wool crepe dress lined in cotton, shawl collar, vintage Bakelite buckle on the belt.  This dress is my first project sewing on this scale - those skirt pieces take up a lot of space.  It's quite heavy and has great movement; I'd call the pattern a success and this summer, a linen model is forthcoming from the same one.

Very nice indeed. I can imagine the same pattern done in a floral (large flowers) polished cotton, this would make it crisp. The addition of large patch pockets would look good too.

Oh brilliant! Of course :)
Can I ask where you get your patterns from because I've been looking for some vintage dresses, or patterns to have a go at!
