"Grecian" dress

Pattern: Simplicity 7805 (out-of-print)

Fabric: off-white gauzy cotton lined with off-white cotton

Construction Notes: This dress has two strips of fabric that criss-cross over the bust and fasten in the back with hook-and-eyes. There is no zipper or other fastener.

Miscellaneous Ramblings: I made this dress some time ago, I think in the summer of 2003. I used a vintage pattern of my mom's. Her bridesmaids wore these dresses in lemon yellow qiana at her wedding in June 1978!
