Want one

 

[Lady Day]

I have that simplicity pattern and am thinking about putting the skirt together as a mock up before I actually try it properly (I'm still learning and very slowly) but I'm releived to hear that its easy...!
how does it hang, is it flattering?

The skirt is really two pieces. The side pieces, you cut 4, and the two center gores, you cut two on the fold. I had to compensate for my bum, (next time, Im going to add some darts in the back for better drape) I added 3" and adjusted the hem as needed, because I find the skirt is a bit short for me (Im 5' 7") and I like my skirts to hit a about 1 1/2" below the knee. I just added the side zipper on my own, not the way they said in the directions.

That's why I always check the finished measurements! ...But it's good to know, as I have that pattern too, and have been contemplating the skirt!

Yeah, Im really disappointed with the 'retro' patterns. I want to make the jacket, but if I have to worry that much about the ease and sizing, Im not going to bother. I will have a better time adjusting a vintage pattern then messing with this one.


And Honey Doll, those are fan-tabulous. I wish I could do the jumper thing, but Id look silly. But that blue and white flower number is beautiful!

Wow Honey Doll, I love all your new clothes. You've made some lovely pieces.

Hey, can someone else check out the patternreview site. I just tried to go there and was redirected somewhere else and I'm not sure if its me or the website.

 

[Lady Day]

Okay, last thing for a looooog while, I promise.

Lyburnum posted this supercute skirt in the purchases thread, and I was fascinated by the pocket treatments, so much so that I stared at it for ten minutes and decided to try it out on a pair of shorts.

The front inside I made with a light cotton so it wouldnt add bulk to the front. They look supercute! This will be a great treatment on a suit!

Ladyday, you've done it again, so many fabulous things :eusa_clap

Honey Doll, such a beautiful selection of dresses.

HoneyDoll, what a wonderful array to goodies! I can't decide what I like the best!

Lady Day - cuuute pocket detailing! And I love the choice of the red on blue.

I was hoping to show you girl a cute sailor dress but it turned out horrible, so I made a very simple skirt instead out of some leftover fabric. I needed a skirt that wasnt pencil or a full skirted one, so I came up with this. The sides are higher than the rest, just to make something a little different. (I should pull it down so it covers my knees though).

EDIT: it doesn't really stick out that much in the back, I think it is due to lack of a pressing and the way I stand.

They are super cute, they are by Miss Sixty and on the wedgeheel there is (I think) hibicus flowers drawn on and there is a little pompom on top of the foot.

Here's my latest outfit. I've made this outfit a couple times and been quite happy, but this one seems a bit matronly to me. The skirt is from reissued Simplicity 0517

 

[Darhling]

^ you are just always too cute..

I loved those pockets too. Lady Day, you are amazing!

 

[dollydaydream]

ooo I like that blouse KamiKat. You look lovely

 

[anabolina]

Ooh, you do look lovely Kamikat. It has a nice shape. I remids me of the retro butterick 5214.

BTW, I'm working on it right now and it is awesome, great shape to the jacket and it looks great with the skirt. I haven't finished the top yet, but I'll post when I finish it. The jacket's so slimming on TOS (the other Sally) that I'll probably make it again pretty quickly.

Clara- That Dress is soo cute. I am a sucker for anything green.
Honey Doll- What lovely dress. The Pinafore is of course my favorite.
Kamikat- You look adorable in that blose and it fits you perfectly.
Cute Skirt Ladyday. I too love those pockets.

 

[anabolina]

Here's the Butterick 5214 I just finished (mostly, I still need to pick out a button for the front)

Oh, and here's another of the retro Buttericks 5152.

My dear friend is all about the 60s so for her birthday party I made a 60s dress.
