I was talking to my mother one day and we were talking about styles of dresses. I have always wanted to wear a dress reminicent of those worn in the 50's and by stars like Lucille Ball. I love the full skirst, longer sleeves, fitted top and collars.
Lo and behold, my mother made me one!! I have strange measurements, so she had to send me the pattern and then a partially done dress to get it to fit right, but I wore it today to church and heard a lot of "oohs and Ahs" and wanting to knows of where I got it.
So, my mother the seamstress has come through for me once again(she made formal dresses and outfits for highschool,and most importantly of all, my wedding and temple dresses) and made a very nice representation of that syle of dress. Happy Birthday to me from my talented mother!!!

That dress is really darling! I'm impressed with your idea to do Lucille Ball - very creative! My mom is always on the search for longer short sleeves, and she would love the ones on this dress!
looks good- hopefully i can see it closer when we come up!
Love it! So cute!
