When paired with a modern fabric—a petite floral or even a combination of companion fabrics—the dress takes on a fresh look but with vintage charm.

 

Autumn Pattern

 

Use a petite floral print for a beautiful version perfect for autumn. Here, contrast gingham bias is used to bind the sleeves and necklines.

 

 

 

Combining fun companion fabrics makes this reproduced pattern even more modern. Separate prints are used here for the sleeves and hemline – plus a coordinating gingham print for the binding. Want to embellish it more? Add a monogram just above the hem!
