This 1940s dress is like light filtering through golden honeycomb. To make your own version, all you need is a short-sleeved, drawstring-neckline peasant blouse and a honeycomb smocking stitch, sometimes referred to as the diamond stitch. The honeycomb pattern is stitched on a grid, which you can easily follow in a gingham fabric. Alternatively, mark a temporary grid of points directly on the fabric and stitch, as you would with the gingham.
