Simplicity 7845: Copyright 1968. I like the dart treatments in front (angled) and I'm liking the ruffle right now. Reminds me a bit of the Cynthia Rowley dress that is out now with the ruffled neckline.
Simplicity 8381: Copyright 1969. I made this dress when I was in high school. I remember it well. I made view 2 (the two colors) without a belt. I used a camel tan soft knit as the main color and a lighter beige for the princess insets and long sleeves. I remember loving that dress.
Du Barry 5766: Copyright 1943. Right now I'm leaning toward this one. I love the half-diamond inserts on the front waist. Not sure if I would prefer the long sleeve or short sleeve at this point.
I have plenty more patterns to look over. So far, these four have filtered to the top as preferences.
I don't get excited about vintage, but that Du Barry dress really caught my eye! Are you taking votes? :-)
ReplyDeleteOh how yummy! I'm getting more interested in vintage design details and love to see modern translations. I'd suggest not making exactly the same view as you wore in highschool, but otherwise all of these are just YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteThe Du Barry is also my favorite. It has nice style details.
