About a month ago, I won some vintage patterns from the generous Lisa of The Hem Line. Lisa has some free crochet patterns, embroidery and other crafty goodness at her site. A really great site to visit especially if you enjoy looking at vintage sewing patterns!
I chose quite a difficult fabric to work with. Some sort of a sheer fabric, that was quite slippery. So, I ended up having to line the dress.
It turned out alright:
I realized that I had to fix the hem, but I also came to the conclusion that while really cute, this dress is really not for me.
I love the neckline, and the sleeves, but I'm not too happy with the whole look of the dress. Perhaps it was the fabric that I chose?
Or perhaps, there comes a time when a woman in her *cough mid-thirties cough * should not dress like a twelve year old..... hahaha!
So, I'm thinking of wearing this dress as a top instead. Something like this:
What do you think?

Def. looks better as a top!!:)
Makes a cut top, especially with the jeans. I think if you kept it as a dress, I would scoop the neckline a little more and add a sash. Wear it with pumps and headband and look retro-sweet, like Alice in Wonderland :)
The dress is cute, but the top is definitely better!
You look more comfortable in the top I think. Great choice : )
I love it as a top. It's sooo cute!
