| Vintage Pattern Contest Winners | By Deepika on 6/17/09 5:34 PM |
First Prize:Kellie R.
For 1638 Hollywood Misses Dress 1940s
Wrap dresses are so flattering on all figures. Kellie takes us back in time with her 1940s Wrapped front with cascade draped over-skirt. She made this to celebrate her 13th anniversay (Congrats Kellie!). A lucky ebay find, this pattern has eye catching details, which are so in vogue right now too.

Second Prize:MagpieJen
For 602 Hollywood 602: 1941 Dress
Hollywood patterns shine again in this winning entry by Jen. What a wonderful review. Be sure to check it out to learn more about this pattern and how she constructed the dress with 12 gored skirt. She used a red semi-sheer polyester fabric with tiny white polka dots for this dress. Love it!
