A 1960s sewing pattern features a shirtdress. A blonde lady with a short, 1960s haircut wears a red striped dress with 4 buttons. It buttons to the waist-area. It has a small, pointed collar. A lady with a brown flip hairstyle wears the same dress in a white floral print, except with no collar.

I'm here
I refuse to trust the past enough to return to it
We're headed forward but we need to remember those who gave their all so we could be here today

Tonight’s work, drafting the beginning of a pattern from the #bodice block I made on the weekend. I modified the standard bodice for fit and to have a yoke front. I want to pin tuck the yoke like a #Victorian #shirtwaist. Still need to figure out sleeves, collar, and skirt.
