That little yellow dress.

Recently I fell into an 80’s music video rabbit hole on YouTube. I went to a land far away, deep into the past, which I had forgotten about. I rediscovered the hits of my teenage years. Not necessarily my favorites, but hits none the less and with new eyes, I saw what I never had seen. A cute yellow dress. I wanted it. So I got to work. Here’s the video I’m talking about: Kaoma – Lambada.

The video is pretty funny with its gratuitous shots of butt checks at close range and subplot of a moody bar owner and the tension between him and his equally moody daughter. Is he angry because nobody pays for their drinks?  Why can’t she dance with the kid? What are the child labor laws like in this tropical paradise?

The pattern is a basic princess line bodice with a flared skirt. The hem comes to a long point at the back. It has a scoop neckline front and back. And it has sleeves that end at the elbow. This dress pattern is now available in our store. Look for the aptly named Lambada Dress.
