I found this sleeveless dress in a Shepparton (country Victoria) op shop, and took it home with me for the amazing outlay of just $3.50. It's homemade, but of definite wear-in-public quality, and is a gorgeous shade of mauve/rose.The full skirt (a true "circle" skirt) ends a good inch or two below the knee, and the unknown dressmaker even included hidden pockets on either side of the hips.
It has an elasticised waist that seems a bit high (obviously this is a big reason why things are homemade: to fit particular measurements perfectly), but I've solved this by adding a wide, black elastic belt from the 1980s. The belt is also an op shop find - I think it was 50 cents.
