Two Linen Dresses

Make way for two new retro-inspired linen dresses!

The first is a different version (for myself) of the blue taffeta roses dress that I posted about earlier this spring. This time the fabric is a sunny yellow linen/rayon blend - with a crisp, lovely hand. It's trimmed in fabric roses of dusky pink and vibrant periwinkle blue.

I listed it on Etsy as an example for a custom order dress.

For the second dress I actually used a vintage 70's pattern:

I really liked the way it turned out - and I am planning do to lots more versions of this pattern. For myself, I want to make a housedress in a bright mod calico.

You'll notice I did change the neckline just a bit.

This version in periwinkle blue irish linen, trimmed with natural linen.

(althougth it looks yellow next to the blue!)

I think this would look super cute with a pair of mary jane heels.
