Sunday Mourning Dress - Intro.

I am stuck on the collar to my Lemon Tie Dress :( I asked my mom for help and she has no clue what to do either. I'm going to take it to my sewing teacher and I'm sure she can help me, but for now I'm going to pause working on the dress.

On a brighter note, I started on a new dress - Sunday Mourning Dress which is from Simplicity's 4903, it doesn't have a year but I'm sure it's from the 60's. I won this pattern off Ebay not too long ago, so I was pretty excited to start on it!



I'm doing view 2 but w/o the sleeves and view 1's belt instead of the bows.

So why the name "Sunday Mourning"?

Well first off tomorrow is Sunday and I hope to be pretty much finished by then. Secondly, I'm using a white embroidered fabric from my mom's stash and it's the mourning color used in India and you could say I'm mourning over my Lemon Tie Dress lol jk

Oh and today I finally wore my 1965 dress! I got quite a few compliments on it which is always nice! (:



Hope all of you are having a lovely weekend!
