Well, this was an interesting little project...
Sew Today magazine runs a vintage competition whereby entrants are asked to take a vintage Vogue or Butterick pattern and bring it into the modern era by way of styling or materials. Taking things to the extreme (as I often do) I decided to update the pattern (Vintage Vogue 2962) by using a material that would never have been considered suitable for a dress in the 1950s - clear vinyl. (In fact, it's probably not particularly suitable now - hence the black body stocking underneath...)

However, looking at the winner and two runners up (which you will have to buy the Dec/Jan issue of Sew Today to see), it would seem that I pushed the envelope a little bit too far!
Anyway, at least now I have a nice frock for the next Tron:Legacy themed party...
