60’s Vintage DIY Maternity Dress

I made this cotton maternity dress as a day outfit out of stash fabric for Costume College this year. The dress was made from an actual 1968 vintage pattern! More information and photos here.

    I was sewing heirloom-style insertion lace, done with edwardian techniques. fun! 😀 I’m going to make an heirloom pink christening-style dress for one of the girls with it.
