This pattern is for the perfect casual vintage ensemble- for dancing, wearing about town, and anywhere you want to take them- tailored enough to be dressy but casual enough to go anywhere! This design is inspired by the mid to late 1930s. It works well for looks from 1935 to 1939, but can look just as chic when mixed in with modern basics.
The yoked blouse has short puffed sleeves cut on the straight of grain and cuffs that are cut on the bias. It has a self facing and buttons up the front. It provides the perfect background for fun buttons, and the cut is fitted at the waist but loose at top. It’s perfect for prints or solids! The front can be buttoned all the way up to the neck or the top buttons can be left off to make a notched collar.
The shorts and trousers hit at the natural waist and the waistband creates the high waist effect. The pants are darted in the back and the front has a single long release tuck at either side for a flattering slim cut. The waistband can be made with self belt loops and belt. The trousers can be made with or without cuffs and the shorts are cuffless. The rise is cut long for a vintage look, but not so long as to be baggy like many originals. They are very flattering!
This pattern was inspired by original mid 1930s patterns but has been based on a vintage blocks. The trousers are updated and redrafted for an improved fit. The blouse is close to the original mid 1930s source material, with improvements for fit and versatility. This pattern includes easy to understand pattern markings, and brand new step-by-step illustrated instructions. This pattern also includes cutting layouts for 45″ and 60″ fabric, and a yardage chart and supply list.
This pattern is recommended for intermediate sewers. A basic knowledge of sewing terminology and zipper application is expected. *Please note* that I have heard back from customers that this runs very small in the bicep of the sleeve and cuff, and some say it runs small in the armscye. A muslin mock up is highly suggested to fit the pattern before cutting into your fashion fabric. Please read the reviews below that cusomers have graciously left of their experiences using this pattern for more feedback.
