Description:
This is a lovingly created digitally reproduced commercial sewing
pattern of the above design. In some cases it has been possible to grade the
original pattern to supply sizes which may otherwise not be available: this
will show in the drop down menu. Daisy's Pattern Parlour is passionate about
bringing designs from the past alive again: sometimes these patterns are rare
and hard to find, however, supplying them in this format means we can all wear
these styles today!
This sewing pattern is used to make: Wrapped, gored skirt buttons at front. Four piece petticoat is finished on a waistband."
This pattern is available in the original size 14, however it is also available graded to sizes 10-12-14-16-18. Please compare your measurements to the Vogue Size chart as these are vintage sizes and not like those from modern manufacturers.
Essential information: (Read before buying)
This is a vintage style pattern and may need modern
adjustments. I would recommend constructing an inexpensive toile
first. The Vogue Smart Dressmaking manual is an optional purchase item -
please read below.
Vouge's Smart Dressmaking (Description):
The VSD manual comes with a FREE waistcoat pattern (B36")
which Vogue suggests can be made from "Celanese shark
skin". The pattern used with the manual teaches beginners how
to make the blouse waistcoat, from tailoring the pattern to your own size
(slash and spread), make personal fit adjustments - Vogue says if you follow
the pattern it will still be a vogue cut - how to lay out the fabric, cut, sew
the various seams, bound the button holes, facings and much more.
The manual was designed for use by the 'wife' in the home and therefore
has a no-fuss approach. The diagrams are clear and the message gets
across with minimal instructions. Obviously being vintage 1937, it
is the ideal accompaniment when sewing these vintage patterns; for example, it
gives advice from the times on how to sew those gussets in those kimono tops
iconic of the 50s - very authentic!
Please note this is not specific to this pattern, or any
other. It is designed to be a reference manual to dip in and out of.
The manual is ethically supplied as a pdf on a CD-rom with a paper
digital reproduction of the full sized pattern. The manual can be
bought for £9.99 on a standalone listing, or £3.99 as an add -on
item. Contents list can be seen in the images.
A disc (style/brand may vary) and digitally remastered paper pattern is
supplied.
About me:
My patterns come in many guises. Some I create from vintage
fashion plates and are in every way an authentic vintage pattern, some are
digitised original hard-to-find or out-of-print vintage patterns with the
option of being graded to offer more sizes, and some are created from iconic
photographs using patterns of the era with a little bit of skill and expertise
included to create a pattern that is often a unique find - if even ever
made! Hands up those of you who would like to wear a Marilyn Monroe
dress, or that of one of your icons??
My patterns are crafted by hand, digitised and then printed on the best
paper available. I only use fit-for-purpose fashion design paper,
not other styles of paper that may tear when you pin it and does not move as
one with the fabric. I strive to continue product development in
order to provide you the best experience when using a DPP pattern.
If in doubt, or if you have any questions please message before making a
purchase.
Finally, do you have a design in mind that you would like to
buy? Message me for a request and I shall create a listing for you.
A word or two on sizing:
I use the modern 1982 British Standards size charts. These
relate closely to the vintage sewing patterns such as Vogue and Simplicity, and
also with today's sewing pattern manufacturers. You could consider
these as 'vintage sizes' and the reason for this is that high street fashion
manufacturers strayed away from the standards with what is known as 'vanity
sizing' in an attempt to get you to buy their product over their
competitors. You could expect to be two sizes larger than modern
high street fashion sizes.
Message me to request sizes 6, 26, 28, 30.
