Today I have a rare jump into 1950s style! I don't often wear anything post-1940s, but this dress was so perfect in fit, style, and comfort that I had to add it to my closet. I saw it at a clothing swap, and it aligned wonderfully with the goals I have for my wardrobe: navy blue, easy to wear, flattering neckline, great fit. It actually fit without any alterations, a rare treat indeed! I also like that, although it's 1950s, the V neckline has a bit of a "V for victory" motif to me. I can definitely picture wearing my patriotic brooches with it in future stylings.

I decided a while ago that I need more house dresses in my life. While I have had slow progress toward that goal as life has gotten busy and my sewing has slowed down, I have finished this dress! I made it out of a bit of fabric someone gave me as well as some red cotton scraps from a blouse that is in process.
