Vintage sewing: 1940's dress

I like remaking my clothes, so I can adjust them to my fit, but making clothes from scratch (or more likely, from a sewing pattern :-)  I find much more difficult.

A couple of years ago I tried it for the first time with this lovely retro sewing pattern form 1947.

And after some difficulties with the pattern, the fit and the fabric (so basically with everything... but luckily I had help from my teacher at the sewing class I attented at that time), this was the end result.

And I must say that I as quite proud of it, but because the fit is still not perfect, I never wore this dress much. But recently I came across a new beautiful vintage sewing pattern for a 1940's dress, I thought, let's try it again. This is the pattern and I think I will make the version with the long sleeves and the belt, but adjust it to 3/4 sleeves. And I even already have the perfect fabric for it!

So let's hope this time I have a little bit more luck with this new pattern (and with the fact that I'm an extremely lazy seamstress and when I don't get a good result immediately I might just give up ;-) . I'll try to persevere and hopefully show you the end result soon!!
