This summer I have gotten the urge to explore my own personal clothing style and to have it evolve into something new. I'm greatly attracted to vintage dresses, from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and early 60s, but sometimes finding these dress styles (in a dress that truly fits) can be a little difficult. So now I am turning to a pasttime I haven't participated in in over 10 years, sewing. I'd like to start making my own dresses. With the help of online sources like Ebay, I've been able to track down some really cute vintage dress patterns. Here is my first purchase:
Now here are a few fabric patterns from Designer Fabrics Toronto that caught my eye that could look great with the dress pattern/style.
