Mad Men “Betty Draper” Dress

I know I have told you how super excited I am about the two hour Mad Men Premier tonight. I wish I lived in the 60′s, it just looks like so much fun! And they have the best clothes! So I decided I needed to make a “Betty Draper” dress. Butterick has Retro ’60s patterns that you can buy at your craft store and I found this one. It was sold out the first time I went to buy it but I went back and was able to get it in my size.

 


Something similar to this, but with a lower/rounder neckline. I could not find the exact picture I was looking for. I made the dress and then added a headband in the dress fabric :) I am sorry some of the pictures are a little washed out- it was very sunny outside and I applied an antiqued filter… I had to make them look vintage too!

And it is great for spinning!
