Vintage dress [1980s] #1 part 2

 This is the 80s dress pattern I got off ebay this year. I have sort of finished the dress! I need a belt for it, and one side of the neckline is a bit baggy, but that should be easy to fix. I finished the dress the weekend before last, but photos were trapped.


This is the bodice I made some months ago. Note the ruffle neck. This looked awful. So I picked it off, cut the neck a bit bigger and put a simple binding on. It needs tweaking to sit properly but it's far better than the poufy ruffle.


New neck.



 Dress before waist elastic and hem.


Finished dress. It's for wearing to work.
