1940s marion martin 9377 plus size dress with back cut out and vintage pin curls

I made my dress for Chelsea's wedding and wanted to share it with you. I used a 1940's Marian Martin  sundress pattern (9377) with a cut-out in the back, borrowed from Amanda's pattern stash. The fabric is cotton from a Hancock fabrics and I trimmed it in green bias tape and red rickrak. I used a vintage fabric covered button in the back.

I wore my red vintage telephone earrings, a gift from Chelsea. My hair style was inspired by this vintage hair net package, which I have on the wall near my vanity.
 I loved the pretty curls on the side so I pin curled it at night, brushed it out the next morning and pin curled the sides. It got kind of flat and crazy by the time we took pics but you get the idea...
