I bought a beautiful quality tablecloth from Savers measuring 175cm square, so of course, my first instinct was to cut it up and make something out of it that I would actually use :D
TaDa! ... a cool summer dress from a vintage sewing pattern (also bought from Savers).
The pattern is Style 4589, dated 1974 and described as "misses' dress or tennis dress and panties". Don't think I'll be needing the tennis dress and undies anytime soon, but I'm sure that I'll be making the dress again (view 1, the blue dress on the right).
Somehow I always seem to make my summer things in the middle of winter, and have to find warmer accessories so that I can wear them straight away ...
thought that it worked pretty good with the shrug that I made here
... and there is still a lot of tablecloth left :D ...

Very pretty dress- the fabric suits the pattern perfectly.
Nice dress, and the fit looks very good. Sounds like a fun project :)
