This dress gets it's shape from darts sewn on the outside of the dress.

This Sunday dress I sewed a while ago from a 1998 Vogue pattern from the op-shop. It hasn't dated too badly!  It was a bit of fiddly as  it's completely lined with a side zip.  But still completed in a day (my whole philosophy in sewing!) and terribly comfy to wear.

 I have such fond memories of favourite dresses I made as a teenager, but they're like old friends who are long gone without a trace! Very self-indulgent, I know, .posting what I wear to church on Sunday, but it's just a nice way to document what I've sewn.

Instead of paying $25 for a Vogue pattern, thrift shops have them for 20 cents to $2. 

Left thread ends hanging on the dress just for fun...and to annoy my husband...

Wait, there's more darts on the back too.  Sewn in 100% linen this dress is long wearing...they'll be unearthing it intact in archeological digs...
