My son kindly took photos of the 1957 Horrockses dress I sewed last year. I wrote about a bit of the fashion history of Horrackses dresses, as well as the construction details here.

This is one of my favorite dresses, that I wear quite often in the summer. I sewed another dress with this pattern which I hope to debut soon.
