Sewing my dress for Pride | Vintage sewing project + sew with me

Today I am sewing a 1960s party dress that features a layered boice and bell shaped full skirt formed using pleats. The dress is made using the bisexual pride silk tafetta from silkbaron. The dress was made using vintage pattern Butterick 9561.
