The Preacher brings you 1950s film glamour in this classic flattering dress shape. Think Grace Kelly in “Rear Window” or Marilyn Monroe in “Some Like It Hot”.

An Adventurous Beginner level dress to make but with an advanced looking finish, the boat neckline and flared skirt flatters all that wear it. An optional tie belt and options on sleeves (cap or long) make it versatile to your requirements. Print or plain? Questions questions… lightweight silk or a firmer brocade?... If only Marilyn or Grace were around to ask...
