The pattern for this circa 1950 dress includes 3 variations. Using the original pattern, the bows were drafted as a separate piece that could be tacked or pinned in place yet easily removable for added versatility.

That dress is perfection! I wish I could take credit for it, but I didn't make it. I did make two lavender dresses from this pattern years ago. The underarm gussets were such a pain I had to sew them in by hand. I never wanted to make it again. Maybe Judy Owens made it.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. I wish I could style my dolls like you do.
I don't know why I thought this was from you. I also have this pattern but never made it up. I probably saw those gussets and decided to take a pass. LOL. I so appreciate your comment Diane. Thank you.
DeleteYour styling and embellishments have made for the drama deserved of Miss Marshall. You certainly have the couture touch. Thanks for passing along all your research and eye candy. Love your stuff.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment Diane. I'm so happy you are enjoying it. Melissa
