In keeping with my sewing
resolutions for this year I rummaged through my fabric stash and my vintage
pattern stash and found this combination. It is going to be Miss 70s meets Miss
50s with a touch of my pattern drafting throwing in.
The skirt is all Miss 5os.
The bodice, well the front is Miss 70s and the back is my drafting. The
original Miss 70s had a high square back and I have altered it to a lower V
shaped back. I also added an extra five centimetres to the bodice
length as I am long waisted.
I am using a red cotton
gingham lined with a white poly cotton. One nap was drafting and cutting. Yes,
I measure my sewing in nap times. I think I am going to need a few naps to get
this finished.
