I loved this dress, shoulder pads and all. It was probably a junior high/early high school dress. I wish our photo albums weren't in storage right now because I'd love to see if there is a picture of me wearing it. My sister, Lori, had it for some reason (boy am I sad that she didn't save it for Eleanor to wear in a few years, you know, shoulder pads are coming back) and brought it in her upcycle donation bag last November.
I decided to try and modify a pattern. It was my first attempt. I didn't want to add a zipper or buttons down the back so I tried to figure out how to reshape the arm and neck holes. I wasn't very successful because it was huge on Lyla. I ended up pinning the neck so that it didn't fall off her shoulders. I think I'll need to add some kind of button closure to the back for future wears but didn't she look cute for Easter?
