Some finished dresses.


Both dresses are from my repro collection. The one on the left is the 40s yoke skirt dress and the right one I FINALLY have finished pictures of the Balboa dress.

Finished images of each dress on NVL.
Have a great Monday.

    Oh my goodness, both dresses are AMAZING! I especially love the Balboa Dress, but that could just be because I really want a flowing maxi dress to swan around in. :)

    Thanks everyone. I really love the sailboat fabric. I just happened on it during a fabric outing. I have enough leftover for a blouse and Im totally going to make one for the summer.

    The Balboa dress just makes me feel like a starlet. Its just too cool.

    Love the yoke dress! I think it's extra flattering because the lines extend past your waist slightly, and that gives a longer/leaner look. Very nice!
