I won a "Best Dressed" award, today, for a dress I sewed myself! I sewed this for a friend's wedding the other month & I only wore it so I could show Nanna! Haha The top is from @gertie18 's #B6354 pattern & the bottom is just a square gathered/swing skirt. [ID: The left image, I am standing infront of a double leafed yellow hibiscus tree wearing a red & pink spotted dress. I am holding my brown, sparkly cane in one hand and holding my award in another. The top right image is a close-up of me, pulling a face toward the award. The bottom right image is a close up of the award. It is in tje shape of a black record and in small, red text says "Aveo" then in larger text "Rocks" and smaller text "National Tour". It sits on a plaque that reads "Aveo Rocks 2019 Best Dressed"] #Gertie #PatternsByGertie #RockNRoll #RockAndRoll #1950s #Aveo #AveoRocksNationalTour #diy #homemade #Sewing #doapu #DiaryOfAPinUp https://www.instagram.com/presyncope_sarah/p/Bv3tBr3nhL7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17wf1kocgil6s
