This is the result of my latest project: a dress made from a Vintage Vogue pattern (V2787). I’ve used this pattern before and since I’ve got time to get used to it I think this dress turned out better than the last one.
There is a 1940’s sew-along that I wanted to take part in: “Sew for victory” hosted by Lucky Lucille, and that encouraged me to make this dress. Well, to be honest, I bought the fabric last summer and was already determined to use this pattern together with this fabric, but sometimes you need a little push to get started…
The back of the dress – not as amazing as the front, but in this case I blame the pattern =P
The hat and shoes was borrowed from my sister, Lisa (or Lizzie J as you can read about in the post below.)

Welcome!
nice work! it looks great. I love your choice of fabric too
Thanks for you kind words! I’m very happy with the fabric too =)
Wow! I LOVE it!!! Great job. I think I’ll be purchasing that pattern :) Your choice of fabric is absolutely sublime!!! Excellent!
Oh, thank you!!
WOW! I think I agree with McKenna. I need to get this pattern. I LOVE the front! Did you find it hard to figure out? The lines and shapes of the pieces are pretty unusual. Was it tricky?
Thank you so much! Unfortunately, this pattern is out of print by now but you can probably find it on ebay. And yes, it was a bit tricky to get the front right, but that has more to do with the diffent sizes (I can seldom use a modern pattern since my body isn’t built that way) than the pattern pieces. If you just find the pattern I’m sure you’ll be able to make this dress, and I can promise that you’re gonna love it! Good luck!
I love everything about your dress! The elegant cut, the beautiful fabric and colour. And you are very talented! :)
Wonderful result!
