With this dress from Pinup Couture being my inspiration and a bit out of my budget, I decided to make my own yellow roses sundress.
Cynthia Rowley dress pattern:
This pattern was fairly simple to put together, and I'm super pleased with the results. I love the fitted bodice and full skirt. There are two black beaded buttons at the waist that are kinda hard to make out with all the pattern on the dress. It's definitely a little different from my inspiration dress but ultimately more wearable.
(These pictures were taken in Spring when it was still too cold in WA to wear a dress without tights.)
This dress looks great with a little black cardigan (I wear my fav Betsey Johnson skull cardigan with it). Also, it would look super cute with a crinoline for added fullness in the skirt. I think I'll be adding a black crinoline to my wish list!
