Blue Polka Dot Dress

This handmade 1980's little number had several things going for it... the navy blue color, the tiny white polka dots, the sheer, cotton fabric, I could go on. However, the length was all wrong and it was a frumpy mess! 


I removed the sleeves, took up the length by about 8 inches, and used the scrap to make a nice sash. Now I have this!


I love the inverted pleat in the front as well. It's light and airy and perfect for Summer!

    Thanks everyone! This one was sitting in my stash for quite awhile so I'm glad to have finally gotten to it. It was a fun one and I love how it turned out.
