  4-piece pattern originally by German Beyer's Modenblatt,  the dress closed with 6 buttons down the front and was sewn at the center the rest of the way to the hem.  I have given it 9 buttons leaving the front edges free and finished with a front facing.  An optional belt fastens to the dress at the front via buttonholes at each end to fasten at the front waistline button.  The neckline is cut out and shaped and bodice is fitted at the front armhole and front and back waistline with darts.  5/8" seams are given. See a customer's review of this pattern! SUGGESTED...

  Advanced 5-piece pattern, design originally by McCall. I draped to create this pattern, as I did not have the original at the time. This is an advanced design for the evening gown with back stays and sash in self or contrasting fabric.  The bodice is cut on the bias and the skirt may be cut bias or on straight of grain.  3/8" seams are given. Sizes: Size set A fits 14-20 (32" to 38" bust, 26" to 32" waist, 35" to 41" hip). Size set B fits 20-42 (38" to 42" bust, 30" to 34" waist, 41" to 45"...

  I missed National Pin Up Day (April 22, which was brought to my attention by an Instagram post by @its.goldie_frocks). So my National Pin Up Day contribution days later is this flashback to 2011 at the Raven Café Annual Halloween bash! I wore the 1936 Underpinnings (Bandeau & Panties) set with this garter belt for a through-the-ages pin-up ensemble, if you will. The result was the pass-off of a late-30’s look. I sewed 1" wide silk ribbon over the narrower elastic passing through the garter stays to give that vintage look! 4-piece pattern originally from German Beyer's Modenblatt, there...

  6-piece pattern originally by Vogue, this would also make a stunning sleeveless gown!! ‘Princess frock with low-back fullness from graduated panel. Straight skirt in front extends above the waist line in point. Button-trimmed blouse front drapes high about the throat above a cut-out and continues into a dropped neckline in back, finished with a large bow tie. Long set-in sleeves are pointed at wrists.’ 5/8" seams are given. Sizes: Size set A fits 14-20 (32" to 38" bust, 26" to 32" waist, 35" to 41" hip). Size set B fits 40-46 (40" to 46" bust, 34" to 40" waist, 43"...
