trying an old pattern

I had a chat with my lovely neighbour the other day and she gave me a box full of old sewing patterns she once used.
They are mainly from the 50's and very lovely.
Here is one that I thought I would give a go with some fabric I got given from work.

I am doing the full skirt with the shorter sleeve
 

and the fabric is pretty busy, but we will see how it goes

more as I get further
:)

Ohh I am really interested to see how this comes out. I do love vintage style but can never seem to pull it off, but the odd piece should make it into my wardrobe soon I hope.

yeah I love the idea, but get shy about wearing it out sometimes. So hopefully I wont do that with this one, we will see ;)
