I'm making a dress!

For Laura's birthday, we're going to a vintage night club! It's 40s, so we have to dress authentically. 

I'm having my hair done at Rose Tinted Vintage in Bedford on the day and I am making a dress. I have a pattern for a '47 dress and I'm making the one with sleeves and a back (rather than the halter neck) which is the one in flowery fabric on the front of the pattern. 

Underneath the pattern is my fabric! It's navy blue with a flower print and it is GORGEOUS! I have enough to make the dress and also something else... I fancy making a hair accessory to match but not sure what... suggestions welcome!



I'm going to take progress pictures, I have just over a month to make the dress... so we'll see how it goes!
