Blah! There are still mountains of dirty snow where I live and it is still quite cold, so MMM is going to be a challenge. I warmed this dress up a bit with boots and a cardigan but my legs and rear still froze. I would have worn proper stockings but they tend to make the dress even dowdier. Following in the footsteps of Mena at The Sew Weekly, I'm going to try to make one thing every week in March (if possible, using fabric I already have). I've already got a top cut out and I plan on sewing it today. My MPB sew-along shirt came to a slight halt while I finished up a party dress for Sunday and I'm still waiting to go button shopping for it anyways.
Dress: Butterick 9415, 1960

What a cute outfit, this dress doesn't look dowdy at all! I love the plaid fabric you chose :)
