Meet the Betty Dress! This design, inspired by a true vintage dress worn by the character Betty Draper on Mad Men, is a charming classic. The beautifully sculpted bodice is accented with a ruched cummerbund (a lovely opportunity to play with contrasting fabrics) and optional back bow.

Make it with either the frothy bubble skirt, the full gathered skirt, or the slim pencil skirt for three very different looks. There’s even a dramatic bishop sleeve option with a slit opening, perfect for showcasing a lace border—and showing a bit of skin!
