Pattern Description:
60s Dress has collar, detachable dickey, fitted bodice, waistband, pleated skirt, and belt.
Pattern Sizing:
I made a 12 I think...I need to start making 10s I think. I'm always paranoid that things will be to small because when I started I always made things tight and then never wore them.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes! Obviously I don't have the same 60s flair and the sketch though.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
I thought so, yes. I made view A.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love the silhouette! I appreciate the fact there is no zipper. I love covered buttons, and this uses just the 4 on front as a closure.
I think the back part of the collar is a little big and the interfacing makes it lay a little funny sometimes.
Fabric Used:
Brown corduroy. It only comes in 45". But it worked.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None this time! I put the sleeves from view B on my view a dress. I hand-stitched some lace trim around the collar and hem for contrast. I also added pockets. I love pockets.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes! With less interfacing in the collar I would like to try the pencil version.
Conclusion:
A very fun vintage pattern! I could be made up a million ways and accessorized to the moon.

What a doll you are!! I love your dress and will point out that you do have the flair needed to wear this dress! Do you wear any sort of petticoat underneath?

This is SO cute! The pencil version could transition easily from day to night by removing the dickey...very cute!
