Butterick 9715 - Vintage romper

I needed a break from the bridesmaid's dress so I dug out a vintage pattern that was given to me buy Granny Ormond.  Just as I was about to start, Lesley, (Granny Ormond's daughter) arrived and we tackled our way through a little romper.  There were no instructions and the patterns don't have markings on them, so it was quite a challenge, but I enjoyed it.  At this stage, everything I sew is such a learning process.

I'm sewing a bridesmaid's dress for a friend.  

This has involved blood, sweat and tears, I tell you.

Tonight she came for a fitting and..................it FITS!! (this is a big deal because last week, it didn't fit; the raw edges on the left where the zipper goes in, just met).  This is the trial run, now I have to start on the real one.  This one needs a zip in the left seam (see the bits of thread?) and it needs to be hemmed.  The sleeves also need to be joined properly and then the bodice should hang and sit much better.  And Ben needs to mow the lawn.
