Harper's Bazaar January 1957 I'm not crazy about the dots but I'm loving the v-neckline and the welt pockets. I'd probably make them faux pockets so they wouldn't stick out. And I love that the bodice has a princess seam going to the shoulder for shaping. So much easier to sew than the ones going into the armhole.

The dress itself is pretty shapeless and matronly looking (perhaps because she is sitting) but if you look at her knee, you will see that the dress is actually sheer with a lining. I've been trying to figure out how to use a sheer and have it be age appropriate, too (I'm in my early 50s). The graphic print is a perfect solution.

Vintage Simplicity Pattern #3129 The jacket of this ensemble looked terrible on me but I know of a modern pattern that has a similar look to the dress that I can use as a core piece of my capsule.
