To make my dress, I used a very simple mail order jumper pattern from the late 60's or early 70's. The fabric is vintage wool plaid that I found at an estate sale many years ago. This is actually my second garment that uses this fabric - it also made an appearance in a pair of Victorian pants. What can I say? I LOVE crazy plaids! The dress is finished off with a few vintage buttons that were given to me by my mother-in-law, but unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention and make the dress button on the wrong side. Whoops!
I also used today's outing as an excuse to wear my Vintage Coat of Awesomeness. That was another amazing estate sale discovery. God, I love that coat!
So that's about it. It was fun to make, fun to get dressed up, fun to do something different, and fun to indulge in my Mad Men obsession. A perfect palate-cleanser project.

You look absolutely lovely! I'm glad the sewing goddesses are being kind to you. I can't wait to see what you create next! <3
It's so period! It's not my favorite period, mind you, but it's so period, like your other creations. I salute you!
You look totally mod girl! I love the hair and earrings too. I think you might need to buy some go-go boots for your next outing in it. ;)

This looks absolutely adorable! Love your big hair, also :-)
I love this like WOAH! you look perfect!
I adore this outfit, we have a common love of plaid and "so horrid it's awesome!" Costume fun. I'm so glad you got to bowl and get in a joyful day of sewing. You remind me of photos of my mom from before I was born so I'd say you nailed the look! Very late 60's!
That is too funny! I was born in the 60's and wore mini versions of your dress growing up. My mom loved to dress my older sister and I in matching outfits so I had the pleasure of wearing the same dress two years in a row. Those tacky plaids, you gotta love them!
Your mojo dress is perfection and your coat is gorgeous!
