Sunny Day Dress - 1977
This 1970’s cotton/poly blend fabric brings back memories of my childhood! I found a twin sheet set while thrifted and fell in love. It is silky smooth, very flowy, and so retro. Perfect for warm weather, or layer it over a long sleeve shirt and leggings for an easy outfit upgrade. If you love wearing something with a history, this one is for you!
The Sunny Day dress is my first completely self-made pattern. It is designed to; fit many different bodies, have adjustable neckline/shoulder straps to alter where it sits, be roomy and comfortable to wear, and of course it has pockets! Strap is continuous and runs through front and back neck channels. Adjust the width by gathering the fabric or pulling it flat out. Tie a knot and bow in front, back, or on top of shoulder. Remove the strap for laundering, use a safety pin to thread it back through.
Flat measurements: body length (neck/strap seam to bottom hem) 32”, chest/width (armpit to armpit) 22 1/2”. Check your chest measurements, can accommodate bust width of 45”.
Upcycling vintage/secondhand textiles keeps beautiful fabrics out of landfill. Some wear and tear, discolorations, or other small imperfections may be expected and add a little to the history of the piece. Photos were taken in different lighting to show textures and better represent coloration.
