Today I am sewing a 1970s vintage gunnesax dress, I was inspried to make another one of these by Modcloth's gunnesax collaboration and thought this would be a good way to talk about it. I made this with some liberty of london cotton from my stash. I used an authentic vintage sewing pattern McCall's 4381.
