Fall for Cotton Finished Dress

vintage wrap dress retro sewing

September just flew by!  I had grand intentions of sewing a new dress for myself from a vintage pattern with vintage fabric for the Fall for Cotton Sewalong, but with doing two shows this month, it just wasn't going to happen.

I did, however, whip up another swirl dress at the beginning of this month and never got around to sharing it.  It's made of 100% cotton, was made in September, and of a vintage/retro design so I think it fits the bill.   ;)


I was lusting after this fabric in the clearance section at Joanns and stopped in during their Labor Day sale and scored 4 yards for half off!  I feel like it looks a bit retro and with it being a new fabric I won't worry so much about washing and wearing the heck out of it!

The dress went together much better this time around.  I attribute that to having a better idea of how much room to leave while cutting out and just doing a better job cutting out the dress in general.  Next step is to trace the pattern pieces with the correct seam allowances.  And make more dresses!


Fabric: Clearance Quilting Cotton for Joann's, $12
Pattern: Original Swirl Design
Hours to Complete: 9
Total Cost: $15


This was such a fun sewalong to be apart of!  Thanks to Tasha and Lucille for coming up with and hosting this!

I love your dress, Emily! I think it's a perfect fabric for fall, too. I can totally see you wearing it with a cardigan and tights in a month or so when the temperatures dip (and stay there, unlike right now lol). It's great!
