The pattern for this dress is Vogue 8728, from their modern line of vintage styles. I used a rayon border print, so I was very careful with pattern placement when I cut out the pieces. Since the black and white fashion fabric was very lightweight, I also decided to fully line the dress as well. I wore the dress to a wedding this spring, and felt very classic and timeless.
