1971 Dress Pattern

Check out this 1971 pattern!  Yes, I fell in love with it as soon as I layed my thrifty eyes on it.  So off to the fabric pile I went.  When I came across this entirely see-through piece of 1970's chiffon floral fabric, I knew right then and there that this was what I wanted for this crazy little dress.  I lined the top with a lemony-yellow cotton and the skirt with a baby blue, just to give the dress a slight contrast.  I was very happy to find this flower trim in my mom's stash to put on the waist and collar.  Amelia looks like a 50's girl in this darling little dress & she loves to spin herself dizzy in it!
