LSDS 1936 "Nice Wool Dress"


Here are two versions of this fun little dress from 1936.
Above is a printed knit fabric with black collar and pocket
worn by UF 301-1 & 1/4 vintage Bleuette.


This version is bias-cut cotton with white topstitched collar and pocket.
It is modelled by a New Generation UF 301-1 & 1/4 Bleuette.

Someday I might switch the buttons on these two dresses,
so the black buttons go with the black collar,
and the white buttons go with the white collar.
But not today!
