ReplyDeleteI love this pattern! How I used to pine over the pattern books! I didn't exactly have the figure for this one back then. The pink and red one is speaking to me now! Have a blessed weekend! Twyla
ReplyDeleteMy mother made the short dress for me. It was a sort of lilac/periwinkle floral fabric with a periwinkle waist. I'm wearing it it my 3rd grade picture. Thanks for posting!
