>I finished my halloween kitty dress tonight! Yay! I bought the pattern on Etsy from The Playful Needle. The original didn’t have ties like this, but it always makes me feel more secure to have optional neck ties. I made these long enough that they can wrap around a variety of ways but I like the way my husband came up with- a little bow at front and tied around the back in a knot.
And here’s a petticoat/slip I made from a 90s prom dress. My new floofy petticoat showed through with the stripes so I thought gold polka dots would look cute. I just got this shirt this week, too, from a little vintage store around here. I look so much like my mom in this picture it’s scary.

>"but it always makes me feel more secure to have optional neck ties."Exactly! I have a growing stash of ribbons and vintage bow ties, all ready at a moment's notice.So so so so cute! I love the look of the longer full skirt, most of mine to just below my knee. Such a flattering length, you look great!
>Super cute! Great job!
>Lovely! You look as if you are ready to burst into song….happy song, of course! With lots of twirling about!
>So cute! I wish I had the figure to wear 50s clothes…I think your petticoat needs one more ruffle around the bottom though.
>SO, so fun!! :) You look so cute! I like that you added the optional ties: I think it's always a nice thing to have those available on strapless designs in case. Too many times I've worn strapless things and wished I had something to tie around to keep things up. ;) lol!- Caseyelegantmusings.com
>You look great! Both outfits are so cute.
>Both looks are wonderful!
>Hi – Julia from The Playful Needle here! Just came across this entry and I have to say that dress turned out so well! Such a clever use of the fabric, too – I love to see an old pattern updated.
