Hello, my sewing darlings! In
the last post, I have announced
that there is something new
coming up on the blog. I could VISIT MY OTHER PLATFORMS

Even though I am now able to
make my own patterns, I am
still prone to perusing Etsy in
search of beautiful vintage
patterns. They are simply
irresistible. During one of my

wild chases for the patterns
my size, I came across a
stunning red dress…
Details of the
pattern
It’s a pattern from the 1950’s, it

has a deep back, gathered
neckline, and a flared skirt. It
has a pattern for a matching
bolero too! I couldn’t get this
dress out of my mind and gave
in to my temptation.
THE VINTAGE PATTERN SHOP
The pattern arrived in my mail
and let me say… It surprised I am pleased to announce that I

brown paper which looks very

similar to vintage tissue paper,
but it looks a bit more durable.
Let me just say, that as much
as I love vintage patterns, it
was a relief to buy a
reproduction. This way I had
no guilt whatsoever while

cutting into it. If I buy an
original vintage pattern I
usually trace it onto a new
pattern paper and don’t cut the
original. It is a lot of extra
work.
This pattern comes with a little

Without further ado, allow me

to show you what I made.
I was so in love with the

illustration on the pattern
envelope that I decided to
make my dress red, just like
the one on the cover. I chose a
simple cotton fabric for my
dress and it was very easy to
work with. To tell you the
truth, I am tempted to make
one more dress in a more
“party” material which has
more body, but that is a plan
for the future.
The pattern itself is

surprisingly easy. I couldn’t
believe that I can make such a
gorgeous dress in one day, but
here it is! The fitting process
was very easy too because the
bodice fits me pretty well. The
only thing I regret is not
making it a bit tighter around
my waist and gathering the top
of the bodice with pleads
which would probably look
more regular.
The only drawback of the

pattern is that I honestly don’t
know how many petticoats
would I have to wear
underneath to make it as puffy
as the dresses on the pattern’s
cover. Perhaps I am too
infatuated with those vintage

illustrations after all!
I already had a chance to take

this dress downtown and I
swear it stopped people in
their tracks. Seriously!
I would love to share with you

guys one of my favourite
memories concerning this
dress. One evening, I was
hurrying to catch my metro
and an elderly couple was
coming from the opposite
direction. When I got closer to
them, I suddenly saw the lady
stop in front of me, she clasped

her hands over her heart and
exclaimed: “You are LOVELY!”.
Let me just add that I currently
live in Norway and people here
are not exactly known for
profuse emotional reactions to
anything, so her kind,
enthusiastic words truly
touched me.
Please let me know in the

comments what do you think
about this dress. Did you like
how it turned out?
Would you like to make your

own 1950’s dress? If yes, here is
the link.
Love,

Have fairly recently

fallen badly in love
with vintage (50ies,
mainly) dresses and
outfits. Since I am
not terribly good at
sewing, I am
looking for easy to
fellow patterns.
Also I would love to
get in contact with
others sharing this
interrest. I live in
Southern Telemark,
do you happen to
live near by? Kind
regards! Hope to
hear from you!
