Love the pattern. It's really cool that you have the original fabric to use! thanks for the links and for your tips on storing vintage patterns, very useful.

Thank you for the link to www.cemetarian.com. I have a pattern, Butterick 6024, that's from the 50's, but doesn't have the copyright printed anywhere. That website indicates it would be 1951-1958, and the number guide shows 1952. My mom would have been 17, so that's right in line with the teen dress description. The sizing is right too, since I know she got married 6 years later in what was then a size 3. I think I'll give it a try, I LOVE the dress. It doesn't have an instruction sheet, but it looks like a pretty simple arrangement. I love vintage, and I admire your willingness to complete someone else's project. I can't even finish my own..... :-)

I think it is really wonderful that you honor an unknow "sewist sister" by finishing her project as she envisioned it. I would like to imagine she continues in this way.

Magpie, I've been looking forward for the finished product on this project. It exceeds my imagination as a really wonderful outcome. I love this dress. It looks great on you. What an amazingly helpful review. I wand to "save" it for all of its good suggestions. I just love the flower..nice touch that I think would make the original sewist smile. Great job. Great review. Thanks so much.

Ooh, finally, I've been dying to see how it turned out -- it's gorgeous! You did Anonymous Seamstress proud. I especially love your pattern envelope poses, they're awesome.

This is a stunning dress on you. Nice that you used the original fabric and your "model" pose is terrific. Thanks for sharing this all with us.
5/1/10 9:57 AM
Oh, that's just gorgeous. Thanks for the link to the fabric flower brooch tutorial, yours turned out really great. Thanks for the wonderful review and photographing all the steps. You look so "authentic 50s" in that dress. Fantastic photographs!
5/1/10 10:12 AM
Amazing! looks terrific on you. Thanks for sharing the details of the process, so helpful.
5/1/10 10:19 AM
You look stunning, Maggie! A pattern from the past that you brought back today with lots of fashion sensibility. I also enjoyed your photo album. If Butterick backs this style as a 'Butterick Retro' pattern, YOU should be on the cover!
5/1/10 11:09 AM
Wonderful project, and your commentary is quite entertaining as well as informative! Thank you!
5/1/10 11:56 AM
Oh my - this might just be the most thorough & helpful review ever! And splendid results - looks fab! I especially appreciate how you are honoring the initial sewist - I'm sure she is smiling now :)

I appreciate sharing your journey of finding the pattern and fabric and the many twists and turns in the making of the dress. I feel like I've traveled to some special place and really enjoyed the beautiful ending with the final photos of your finished dress. I sense a lot of care and dedication and presence. It inspires me to do a project with the same attention and passion. Thank you for your wonderful review and for YOU.
