During our stay in New York, I found this amazing Japanese mushroomy fabric in this lovely little fabric store in SoHo. I knew that this fabric had a retro kitchen curtain feel, but I just knew I had to make Elliott a dress from it. I bought it, came home and coordinated a couple of fabrics with it and began a search for the right pattern to suit the fabric.
I found this Maya Peasant Dress pattern on Etsy and knew it was the one! I’m thrilled with how it turned out and Elliott…well, let’s just say I was lucky to get it off her her long enough to wash it!
So here is her 1960s kitchen curtain dress in all it’s mushroomy glory!
What a beautiful dress… your little girl looks adorable!
Where is ours?!!!!! Soooo cute!
Just popped over from PW and wanted to say Congrats! This dress is too adorable. I totally have a thing for japanese fabric and won a gift certificate to an etsy seller and thrifted some kawaii looking fabric too! Sadly I still need to get some sewing done but little people seem to keep me too busy. I really like your blog and will have fun looking at your tutorials! Cheers, Jennifer
I love this dress and the pattern is just what I need! Unfortunately it is no longer available on etsy. Boo!!!
That’s too bad! Last week, I shot her an email to see if she would still email the file out if people were interested. So far, I haven’t heard back. If I hear from her, I will post here. 🙂
