My third sewing project from a vintage pattern! I used a 1950s jumper dress pattern, changing the neckline from V to sweetheart. I'll definitely use this pattern again, but next time I'll do the Full Bust Adjustment pattern alterations.
Did a test dress from a sheet.
I am still testing out patterns trying to decide which one to use for the wedding we are going to this summer. I do like this one and will keep it in the running. I goofed on the skirt part, it was supposed to be fuller (I ran out of fabric) and I didn't get the pattern going exactly straight across.
I thought some of you ladies would be interested in this, since it's one of the Vintage Vogue patterns.
I've put more photos and description in the Gent's conterpart to this thread: v2885
Ok second try on this pattern. I used a poly/cotton blend and lined the top. I like the fullness of the skirt better, but I don't think this is the pattern I want to use for the dress for the wedding. It's a cute summer dress, but I think the top should have maybe a sweetheart line to it? Oh and doing the gathering with the serger was waaaaay easier than by hand, or with pleats

Tatum, it's a V shape, but there are ties that wrap around to the front.
This is the jumper I made today. My husband hates it lol. I really like it though.
This one was kind of interesting. I used this fabric because it was the only one I had enough of! lol I didn't bother finishing the hem, or putting in the zipper since I just wanted to see if I liked it, which I do.
