A dress in April AND a skirt in May - that's a record for me

McCalls 4718 (1942) 12-gore skirt in a 100% cotton. I did make the wide waistband with the belt loops but it turned out a bit loose. I probably won't bother altering it, just wear it with a wide belt as in the picture.

Oh that skirt sure is puuuuuurdie You up for a trade?

Inky, I love your skirt! You look so darn cute!

Cici, your dress is absolutely gorgeous! It looks professionally made. *drools*

You ladies are so talented and give me so much inspiration. I can't wait to take sewing classes, so that I can one day start making my own vintage inspired clothing.

Super cute, CiCi !!! How fun will that be this summer?!

Love the red and black Inky! nothing like a little help from your friends...

Kamikat the butterfly print is awesome.

I finally had enough practice in to attempt a vintage pattern. No resizing, I risked using it as it was (a 30 bust) because it was a wrap, and it doesn't have to fit my shoulders (which are a mile wide). The pattern is all spirographs, and I have enough left over to make at least a shirt!

It's supposed to have double-fold bias tape around the neck, but I can't get it to follow the curves of the shoulder ties. Any suggestions on what to use instead? The curve is quite sharp, and I don't want to use a million little pieces of tape...

Great job, that is really cute! What pattern did you use? I am getting some great inspiration looking through this thread!

Nope you never point out the mistakes, those are "adjustments" that you made to the pattern Thanks so much for posting the pattern, now for my mad search on ebay lol

 

[Rhian]

The fabric and the style are so perfectly matched! I hope one day to be able to sew as well as you, because this dress is just to die for.

Does anyone know where I might find that McCall pattern 8404??? To say I am obsessed with finding it is now an understatement! lol
