Same Pattern Different Dress | Making a 1960s Dress from a Vintage Sewing Pattern

A new decade for me and my first ever 1960s project! This was part of a collaboration hosted by ‪@AnnabelleAndBensAntics‬ and it was so much fun to make my own version of this travelling vintage sewing pattern.

My vintage winter wardrobe is severally lacking and so this woolly dress should keep me warm and stylish all winter.

But with no toile and a whirlwind selection of different seam allowances, will the finished dress actually fit me?
