>It’s that time again! I’ve got a new pattern I’ve been working on- this one a reproduction of a mid 1930s one piece dress. It’s now available for pre-order on my website! Patterns will start shipping mid next week!
I just love this pattern to pieces! It’s feminine but it’s not fussy- it has all those little tailored details I love so much in mid 1930s clothing!
I started sewing this for myself last fall and tucked it away to be finished later once winter sat in. I made my version up with 1930s Collegiate inspiration- I even used a vintage football belt and leather buttons! The fabric is a linen/rayon blend. I know, I tend to use this fabric a LOT but it’s so easy to work with and I love the vintage feel.
Hope you love the new pattern! Can’t wait for an excuse to wear my new frock :)
