Simplicity 7288 1985 prairie punk dress

 . . . and now, for something completely different . . .

I got this 1985 Simplicity Super Saver pattern . . . somewhere.  


This is totally the kind of fluffy pattern I love/hate and would totally wear.  But I feel like when you choose a pattern like this, it's fun to make it out of something ironic.

Something like David Textiles skulls and roses:


Yeah.

Anyway, I Xeroxed the bodice pieces--the skirt is a gentle semicircle but I'll be using rectangles because of the stripes--this weekend and did some adjustments: Bodice length, full upper back, low bust point, small full-bust adjustment.


The test muslin looked good. It's not supposed to be that fitted.


So, on to the fashion fabric . . .
