1930s Dress, 1930s Frugality
Q: What do you get when you take $3 of thrift store fabric and add thread and a zipper from the stash, contrasting fabric from a de-stashing friend, and a vintage mail order pattern and buttons from a kind relative who stalks estate sales?
A: You get one of my favorite dresses yet!

| This photo was taken in the kitchen, because I think this dress looks just a bit like I should be wearing it while waiting tables at The Whistlestop Cafe from Fried Green Tomatoes. |
The pattern is Marian Martin 9327 and it is so simple. Super fast construction, super comfortable fit, super flattering length. I just love this dress!


Oh my, I love it Erin! Well done (once again)!
Gorgeous.
