I found this dress at the Fairfax Flea Market my first summer in LA. It was too big for me, but I couldn't resist buying it and was able to take it in enough to fit. It's made out of bandanas and trimmed in white ric-rac. I think it might be my favorite dress (if I had to pick one) even though I haven't found that many times to wear it. Today my aunt and uncle from Bellingham, Washington are in town on a layover to South America and we're having brunch so I finally have an excuse to wear it again. A few weeks ago, I ran across the pattern for it on EBay and again, couldn't resist. I took out all the pattern pieces in an ambitious moment and then put them right back in the envelope. Wow, that's
a lot of pattern pieces. I'd love to attempt it someday.

Bandannas? That dress is amazing . . I can see why it's your favorite.
Thanks for the moving advice, btw! Where are you planning on moving?
i knew it! you will make one someday :)
That dress is fabulous! I've searched the internet for the McCall's 8332 Pattern without success :( Would you ever consider scanning it to PDF file for sharing please? As it's such an old pattern & out of print I doubt McCalls would mind if you did.
Hi !! Can you please tell me if you can sell the pattern for this dress or a copy?? I have a party to go in 30 days and I'll love to make this dress. Thanks, Gri
I LOVE This dress. Is there any way possible for you to share the pattern? Please let me know, I would love to make it...
Beautiful! Sadly, that pattern is still in copyright, so it can't be legally copied - and McCall's is vicious about protecting its copyrights. I would love a red bandanna version, though.
waow! nice dress! i love it!
xoxo
