I made this hideous creature using
Simplicity 8133, a pattern from the 60s or 70s. Vintage pattern wiki says 1969. I thought it would work because it was a somewhat shapeless jumper, with a sort of A-line shape. It is for a 34 bust.

| Horrifically low cut? check. Front panel curling out? check. |
The fabric is some vintage polyester I bought at an estate sale a few months ago. I don't know why I thought large, primary colors (and grey) diagonal swirls would be flattering? Yikes.
 |
| Gaping armholes? check. |
I absolutely did not have enough to match the fabric either, so the back looks awful. It was about 2 yards of 60 inch wide fabric, but one third of the way across there was a big snag that ran the ENTIRE length of the fabric. That made cutting difficult. The snag is featured on the front flap that buttons under.

| LOL a facing is poking out, but could you even notice because you are blind from the print??? |
It's shockingly unflattering. So gross.

| This dress makes the babby sad. |
Um, so that has never been worn and will be disposed of shortly. It deserves to be burned, but I don't want to smell its polyester fumes!
