Welcome Shazz
I don't know if collect is the best term to describe a lot of the pattern acquiring ladies her. Obsessively gather, perhaps? :biggrin:

If you are new to sewing, take a look in our sewing FAQ thread. We have tons of info collected there. You will also see in our show us what you've made thread, we have been busy making vintage inspired creations.

Take a look around and get a lay of the land and welcome!

Notice the mildew at bottom I believe that is from same seller as yours DPD I will have to go through it tomorrow and see if it is all usable before i put it in a bin in hopes of finding time to use it in the next year. I better check it cause like yours I may just need to copy it before it becomes unusable.

That Butterick 3733 is so lovely.

I just about died when no one else bid against me and I got it for less than $10. The only odd thing is that center bodice bit. I guess it's supposed to be worn with a camisole, because there's no mention of a vestee, ect.

Oh, yes, the capelet, you must have it! Are you making it in yellow or in a contrasting color?

 

[deadpandiva]

This is a cute pattern. I think I picked the wrong fabrics when I made it. I looked like a nurse.

I might do a contasting colour because the dress is black and if the caplet is black it wont stand out so much. Any ideas what colour I should make it? I think white would be a little bit too much...

DPD can you post a pic of your dress, Id love to see it

I think a white capelet with black trim or a black collar would look well. I love black and white together, they're so smart. Of course, short white gloves would be perfect and throw a stunning pin on the capelet.
