Pattern: Simplicity New Look 6457, View C
Year: 2005
Fabric: Something purchased for something else, plus something else purchased also for something else.
(A dress is better than a placemat.)
Cost: Pattern was from stash, fabric, about $15.00 spaced over the last 4 months. Plus $2.50 for the up-and-coming mathcing petticoat. So, I'd say, just under $20 total.
Time to Complete: About 2 days, off and on.
Mods: Lengthened the bodice front and back considerably (2-4 or so); added a side dart to more shape the bust area, which then unintentionally raised the v-neck, unfortunately. So now, it looks a little matronly with the sweater. Oh well. I'll have to see what it looks like on.
Worn: Not yet. Needs a zipper.
I whipped this one together in couple days, except it still needs a zipper, so until then, it's sitting on my mannequin. The sweater is Talbot's via the Salvation Army, angora/viscose/wool. Perfect! The little shamrock pin was my grandma's, and the beads are vintage.
