My Nan had this pattern and made dresses for me through the 1970s. She modified the neckline, sleeves and the waist line for a bit of variety, but she used that pattern until I stopped wearing dresses. The 15mm seam allowance means you can either French or flat fell the seams. Most patterns of the time have larger seam allowances because domestic overlockers were not a thing.

Vintage? Seriously? Look on the pattern…it will be a 1970’s pattern. Vintage? The pattern envelope will give you the copyright date. You should try a pattern from the 1930s or 1940s…that is vintage. And the instructions are … interesting. The dress looks very nice on you.

Oh Janelle, it's adorable. It would be really cool if you could draft a pattern similar to it for your rosery army, without infringing copyright of course.

So pretty, my Mum used that pattern to make my sister and I that same dress. Think the underbust is a variation of what is called empire line dress. great job Janelle 👏🌸

I believe I sewed this pattern twice for myself on 1973 or 74 when I was 13 years old. One was in boho beige and the 2nd was forest green dot maxi. I wore them with wedges. Thanks for the memories!

I love the style of the dress. My aunt made one like it back in 1969 for my prom dress. I don't think we called it a vintage dress buy it was made the same way . She had to do a lot of adjustment to it because I was a very short girl and wore a size extra extra small I was very small I wasn't even 5 ft. tall. I'm still not tall and I'm 71 yrs old now

I about fell of my chair. We used this pattern in the 70's for my sisters wedding. All of us made our maid dresses for her wedding. Mine was in pink everyone else had pastel colors.Funny

Don't laugh but I made that dress when the pattern was first published back in the 70's! I love watching the old patterns from back in the day getting made again.

Lol I am 57 now. My Mom made matching dresses from that pattern for my older sister and me. Yellow fabric with white lace overlay.

I have found that the more vintage (and I mean 1070s or older) have a much better fit. The newer ones when I follow what the guide says is always two or more sizes too big. And I have been seeing since the 80s.

So pretty, although I’m a little worried that this is a “vintage” pattern. I’ve used these my whole life and I’m over 50 years old. Does that make me vintage, too? 😂 Teasing aside, the instructions are so very detailed that I’ve always found it makes sewing pain free. Many of today’s patterns lack that specificity, making sewing involve more guesswork, unless you have a lot of experience. Thank goodness for KZfaq and instructors such as you!

Lovely dress and you look so cute in it. I remember my mom used to have that pattern, but I don't think she made it for me.

Well done, Janelle 💐. As you were cutting the extra hem bits off, I was thinking; you had your dress ties there! Back in the day the ties were the “thing!” Your necklace looks great; I love a little bling. Susan.

For you this is vintage. For me it was what I was making in my twenties. This type of "waist" was very popular - it is more an empire style. I liked what you did with the sleeves. All patterns only came in one size - the size you needed. Your fabric choice suits the flirty dress and its floaty skirt.

That dress is GORGEOUS! I love the alterations you made to fit your style, and I appreciate that you showed the misstep with hemming the sleeves. I get so frustrated when I have to pick out a seam... and pick it out again... and it's reassuring to know that everyone does it. Really can't get over how lovely this turned out. Excellent work!

I really love this neckline! Have you ever considered doing a pattern hack tutorial on how to alter the necklines for some of your own patterns?

@lynettepettitt655 2 жыл бұрын

Patterns from the 1970's are some of the best! The lines & directions on the pattern are clear & uncluttered (usually because use only get one or 2 sizes per pattern). The written instructions are usually easy to follow too.

Adorable!! Love all of your changes & I even like the pockets where they are because it doesn’t take away from the bodice…keeps the dress free flowing! Great job!!!!

Can we all just take a moment to wonder how in the world you keep your ironing board cover so clean and white without all the burnt brown stains from the iron???
