What a Nice suit! I really like the sleeves!
May be a wierd question but do you know what uderwear the model is wearing in this picture? It's beautiful! I'd like to buy one for myself!

Thank you all so much! She's wearing the What Katie Did glamour corselette--I have one for myself and I love it so I bought another one in her size to go under the suit.
Eva--thanks for noticing, the lining is my favorite part, its actually from the 50s and has poodles on it.
Rodeo Rose--thank you !!! the shoes are from the 40s and I was so glad they fit her as I can't get my feet into them
And BoPeep--I love your blouse, the fabric and buttons are perfect

Fonda62 - Thanks. I think it would work for a larger bust being so adjustable. I know typically gathered fabric can add weight, but if you keep it smooth over the bust and pull the folds down towards the waistline, you'd be fine.

Kitty_Sheridan - Sorry, they're not DoS pants!

This is a dress I whipped up in a few hours for a friend's 'James Buchanan Inaugural Ball' themed party.

AWESOME! I am a firm believer that (unusual) dress-up theme parties are the best parties.

Did you make them BoPeep? You must tell which pattern if you did!

 

[BoPeep]

^^ It was a modern pattern that I extended the waist on. Posted somewhere on this thread around Sept. 2010, I think.

I made this 1952 Wrap Blouse from Decades of Style. I just can't get enough of stripes! More here http://willowhomestead.blogspot.com/2011/03/1952-wrap-blouse.html

Beautiful. I love how the stripes go both ways.

This is the Nadja dress. You can get the pattern for free on the Burda website BUT there is no instructions with it.

Im not happy with the sleeves cuffs on mine, I wasn't sure how they did them so I just did them my way. Im going to attempt to make the dress again

DPD, that is gorgeous! You do 50's just as well as 30's.

Once again I'm in awe by all the talent here!

 

[Lauren]

Thanks for this. They have a new one that I want and it hasn't gone on sale at Joanne's or Hancock's yet.

Thanks Kamikat and Lauren. I haven't done a 50's look in ages. It felt a little weird.

No worries! Hi, my name is Gracie, and I'm a pattern addict...

 

[Lily Amelia]

Well, I have definitely been bitten by the sewing bug! After my first post a few weeks ago I managed to find the missing pattern envelope and pieces and set about making one of the other versions of my dress, this time with some fabric I'd bought specially rather than a sheet lol (Excuse the cheesy grin, but I was quite pleased with myself!)

This is the pattern I used, I think I'll end up with at least one of each style

 

[Almost Vintage]

^ Very cute!

 

[crwritt]

Still under construction, but I'm thinking spring with this embroidered linen sheath dress.

I love this. I really like how you laid out the fabric so that the pattern drapes, it really looks like a high-end boutique piece. SO NICE!!!!! :eusa_clap



I am a fabric and pattern addict. She who dies with the most of either (or is it both?) wins. I must plan on winning, yes, that's why I have so many.
