Two-Toned Gold Vintage Sweetheart Dress

I found this beautiful vintage looking pillow case while shopping awhile ago and I've debated for some time what I wanted to make out of it. The vintage feel is timeless and I didn't want just a pretty top so I opted for a dress instead. I only had enough fabric to make the front of the dress so I completed the back with a pretty coral colored pillow case that I found while shopping as well.

A two-toned gold vintage sweetheart dress it is. :)

The pillow case I started out with. I cut off the front of the pillow case since the back was just a plain tan fabric.

The sweetheart shape I cut out. I'm completely in love with sweetheart busts. It screams classic elegance.

I hemmed the raw edges.

Then I sewed a crease a little below the bust to give shape to the waist. I pinned the front and back of the dress to the mannequin to audit some loose fabric so I can sew them together.

The back of the dress is a coral colored pillow case with an invisible zipper on the side.

I couldn't pull my finished dress over my mannequin so I had to hang it up. The dress looks more flattering on and has more shape than this shows. The back is also a low sweetheart which adds more of the detail that I love. :)

Thee finished dress on! I wore my canvas ivory heels and white rhinestone embroidered earrings to keep the look a little simple. Then I added on a tan belt and my peach bubble necklace to complete the look.

For an everyday look I can simply throw on a cute cardigan over and for a more dressy look a blazer would go perfectly with this dress. I definitely think dresses are my forte. They are so simple to make! :)
