Unfortunately I do not remember the pattern number for this one. I know it was a Simplicity from the early 1960's, though! I had recently bought a huge box of old patterns for $5 (!!!) from an antique store that was going out of business, and this was one of the jewels inside.
I made one for my sister Susanna and one for my sister Skylar. Susanna is in the plaid dress. :)
(Sorry for posting this one, guys!)
This was before I really knew how to fit and finish well, but they turned out pretty good! The girls really liked them, anyway! I do remember having a bit of trouble with the pleats in the front...
Have a fantastic weekend!

What lovely dresses! Your sisters look charming, even in the funny one. :-) God bless you!
Cute! That was nice of you to sew for your sisters. How long ago was that?
Thanks Clare and A.J.A.! I think these photos date back to either 2004 or 2005. Something like that. That is when I really got started sewing with old patterns. From then on, I was hooked!
