Sewing Retro! Butterick B5556



This is my next gig dress. By gig dress I mean a dress I'll perform in. We do a lot of old music from other decades. I think this one would be perfect for doing old jazz standards in.

I've picked some different fabrics, but will probably go with shantung because of the texture. I'm learning about retro fabrics and underthings, too. When this one is done I will have to wear a crinoline with it and will definitely have my secret weapon on under everything else.

I ordered the fabric for this dress. As soon as it arrives, I will be sure to include a photo of the notions for this dress as well.
