Pattern: Butterick 2952 Year: early 60s Fabric: about 1.5 yards houndstooth wool Notions: zipper Time: ca. 11 hours Cost: about $20

(the shoes and tights arrived in the mail today! I got them from topshop.com and I'm in love with them :) the belt I made from some petersham ribbon and a "hook"-buckle I found at the thrift store)

Done! The zipper went in ok, at the bottom there's a tiny weird fold, but I've decided I don't mind :) I feel like I've already written so much about this dress, there's nothing left to say! Except that I think it's a great wardrobe builder, it's simple with an interesting texture and can be styled in many different ways (with different colours and accessories!).

And with this dress, I've already crossed off two dresses from my list in October!
