One of my grandma's friends sent me this gorgeous vintage dress along with some other things. Apparently she bought the fabric in Italy and sewed the dress herself.
I wore it to church last Sunday. Since it's an early 60s style, I added my 60s-style sunglasses (from the dollar store!) and did my hair in a sort of failed-beehive-slash-french twist-updo-thingy.

The dress bodice is lined with interlining and has a grosgrain waist stay, plus a deep, hand-sewn hem. It's actually very similar to a vintage pattern I own:
It was so much fun! I can't wait to wear it again :)
