Today I started a new project with another vintage pattern, this one dating from 1968. I'm making view C (on the right) on the pattern envelope. The fabric is some shirting I got on clearance at High Fashion Fabrics a while back, and I cut the center bodice panel on the bias, as shown in the illustration. I'm a little unsure about how much I'll like that raised neckline, and debated changing it, but I decided what the heck, I'll give it a try. Maybe I'll love it. As is my preference, I'm fully lining the dress rather than use the fistful of facing pieces that exploded out of the envelope. I'm really glad I don't have to figure those out!
Love that pattern.
ReplyDeleteI saw your comment over at Houston Crafter and realized that we live in practically the same town, too. Just wanted to let you know.
That would be so neat if we all got together at some point since we all love vintage and all live in the same town.

Sounds gorgeous! Can't wait to see photos of the finished dress. :) Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute, cute pattern! I don't have any cute mod dress patterns...it makes me sad!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it. And don't worry, I made a dress with one of those "standaway" necks and it isn't that bad.
