Simplicity 2254

I made this dress from a 70's pattern from Simplicity that I bought cheap on Ebay. The fabric is some type of non stretch synthetic fabric that I bought last summer.  

 There is a ruffle on the bottom of the dress that makes it about 25 cm longer. Next time I will do it without the ruffle, because now it ends a decimeter below the knee. And because I'm short, it isn't as nice as you may think. 

 The dress is hold up by straps that you tie. Although there is elastic thread it can not be held up only by the elastic. 

Normally I am a 38, but this dress in 36 do actually fit very well. I saw that the dress without the ruffle would be a great dress! I'll do that next time. 

Flowery Circle skirt

I completed my first circle skirt in the beginning of January! :)

 A self drafted Circle skirt made with this tutorial! It was a great tutorial and I will do more circle skirts!

 I didn't hem it, instead I sewed with black bias tape. 

And of course I made it in real 50's style with an elastic waistband. 

I also made the skirt high waisted, and know I'm walking around with a big belt where the waist ends. 

I really love it, and I will be using it a lot, even now when it's snow outside! And I will for sure be making more circle skirts, but next time I wan't to do one with an ordinary waistband!
