I cannot believe that I actually made this pattern, the short version with short puffy sleeves. It was even purple. Around about 1974 or thereabouts.

Watching this has just flooded my head with such happy memories. I remember all the dresses I made for myself, such lovely fabrics I was lucky enough to have because mum used to come with and wd frequently buy them for me. Apart from lovely florals one that sticks out in my mind was a lovely soft wool in a heather/ Wysteria colour. It had short puff sleeves, lined with purple and it had an opening in the back with silver buttons... it was short and I wore it with knee high, shiny black boots. I wd say it was 1966 when I started nursing. Thankyou for the memories. Your dress was gorgeous.

This really takes me back to the 70's when I too was making my own cloths. The bane of my life was neatening the seams. Oh how much easier it would have been to have had an overlocker then!!! Interesting how much things have changed in home dressmaking. I used to send a great deal of time marking patterns using tailor tacks (threads) How much easier is it now to have erasable pens? Love the results you have achieved. Keep them coming.👍🏻👍🏻

Would that not keep it laying flat enough? I don’t have much experience with neck facings, I usually finished them with bias tape.
