Once I got to study this pattern, I realized how much I would like to make a dress and jacket using this pattern. What actually sold me was that it is dated 1950, so close to the 40s a period of clothes that I considered vintage growing up. I love the lace wrap overskirt and dolman sleeve jacket.
I'll trace the pattern, since it is uncut and alter it to fit a larger size.
So, back into my collection it goes until spring.
I do make custom clothing for sale, some from patterns and some patterns I design, depending on how the fabric speaks to me.
I don't stop there, because having six children; I loved making frilly little dresses with lots of details for the girls, never made much for the boys.
I am whipping out a few dresses for my granddaughter; I should get her to model them.
Currently I have the aprons she models at http://www.artfire/users/peneloperose
