I created this using Crompton Spot Cotton fabric in duck egg blue and using Butterick 4790 Walkaway Dress Pattern. I made my own bias binding in the dress fabric, this was the first time I have tried this and I am really pleased with the effect. The one watch point it to make sure that you select the pattern size that matches your body measurements and not your “off the peg” size.

Wow Vanessa, your Retro dress looks great! The darting in the front and back gives the waist a beautifully tailored shape! Please send us more of your creations.
