I finished this Camille dress this weekend too.

Bodice pattern from Gertie's Charmed Sewing Studio book. I used a 3/4 circle skirt from a different Gertie book.

I normally avoid black, but I really like how this turned out.

I had about half a metre plus offcuts of my Camille fabric, and with a bit of tetris, managed to cut out a s9290 bolero. The pattern is now discontinued, so I traced my size in case I need a different size later.

New project - Camille bodice from Charm patterns with my 'standard' 3/4 circle skirt. I don't normally wear much black but I made an exception for this gorgeous floral sateen. #charmpatterns #sewsky #vintagesewing #wesewretro #sew1950s #shaheen #camilledress #gertiepatterns #midcenturysewing
