Ridiculous 60s dress

Check out this silly dress I made. 

 

Aubergine corduroy, huge paisley pockets, a front zip and a removable Peter Pan collar...need I say more?


 


I used this 1969 pattern and removed 6 inches from the length. The dress is pretty hideous so I thought it make it really fun. I'm not sure if it really works, though. It rides up when I wear tights because I didn't line it, and that makes it bag up unattractively around my middle.

 

The collar was an afterthought as I'd made the dress to wear over a skivvy, but I thought in the warmer months I can wear it by itself with the collar on.

 


 What do you think???

  3. Eeee, it's CUTE! I love the shape on you, could you wear a slip underneath to stop it riding up? That's what I do when wearing dresses I haven't been bothered to line :)
