A Striped Cotton Dress: Vintage Simplicity 4729
I'm only sorry I forgot to show the ruffle on the sleeves. Because everything about this stripey pattern is so cute. Especially on Clara. 
The stripes make such a statement turned on the bias, pieced together, and used to make chevrons in the skirt. You have to wear it like you mean it!
Not visible, but we used a very wide vintage grosgrain ribbon in black to construct a belt using a set of D-rings. So simple.

So flattering! It looks great on Clara. I'd love to see more of the details that you mentioned (but I'll understand if you haven't got the time).
Oooh.... once I get a break from pregnancy/ nursing, I look forward to making myself some nice shirt dresses (with belts!)! That is, if I ever have a waist to speak of, again! :D
That's a fantastic photo of Clara! Love the colors, and the composition.
I would LOVE to raid your vintage pattern collection and make my own copies! Hubby and I adore the styles of the past and I want to make my own dresses.
That's very cute!
I love the chevron effect of the bias stripes! So bold. So classy.
And I love the cat. :)
I love the stripes on the bias! I plan to make a shirt dress soon that will be on the bias! I always love your sewing Anna! great job
That is a cute dress! She looks great in it!
I love this dress-especially the pleated skirts with the stripes, and Clara's slender figure really brings out the great design. Congratulations!
I love your interpretations of vintage patterns. :)
how pretty!
did bias stripes eat up a lot of fabric?
What a fantastic use of that fabric. I really love the ruffle detail on the collar.
*Great* dress. Love that collar!
I saw a black woman, natural hair, working a bias-striped skirt in those colors, in Paris. It has always stuck with me.
The collar jumped out at me. Love little details. Such a fun dress! Who needs pants when you can have such lovely dresses and cardigans to go with?!!
