atherleisureI wore the dress I made from the Wearing History 1939 "Victory" dress this week and got my daughter to take pictures.
It's a silk/cotton blend voile flat-lined through the body and skirt with white lawn. . The only modification was that I shortened it by 1/2"-3/4" above the waist, half at the shoulders and half at the top of the belt/midriff section. Even without me shortening it, the V wouldn't have quite come to a point at the seam line; it came to a point at the cut edge at the very bottom of the bodice.
