My original , french seamed, belted chevron pattern dress
This cotton dress was a vintage look when boarders were popular. I used pearlized snaps for the front closure. The 2 chest pockets were accented with lace as well as the hem. The shoulders were split and so were the lower skirt side seams for greater mobility. The seams were sewn with French seams to prevent raveling.
