Marilyn Monroe-Black & White Polkadots

 

 
 I am very slowly getting back to sewing now that baby is sleeping more i actually feel like doing stuff again. I have been getting that itch to make something so i started with fabric i had in my stash a white and black polkadot satin that made me think of the dress Marilyn Monroe wore, the dots are actually red on the original dress but most of the pictures are black and white. i lined the bodice with a medium weight cotton and sewed the boning to the bust seams and to the back lining, the front drape is bias cut with wide back straps and a full circle skirt. This sample dress is available for sale here at Psychedelic Pinup
