Vintage Simplicity 8285: House Dress

 I know that I showed you this vintage pattern I picked up ages ago.

 I finally got it sewn up.  Actually back in May. 
Fun things about this house dress.
The fabric is vintage polyester double-knit.

 The lace is from the stash I inherited from my mom.

 The binding lace is also vintage.

 It turned out pretty big, I wouldn't wear it as a regular dress, ever.  But it's a nice extra layer when I'm cold (not lately).  And it gave me a laugh to sew it and my kids think its awful, which is also fun.
