The Pattern: Vintage 1940s Mail Order 2319 Girl's Dress
This sweet dress was purchased by LadyKatza from my shop back in January 2010. As she was pouring over the patterns for herself in my shop, her daughter said she wanted a dress too. LadyKatza, being the wonderful mother she is, let her daughter pick any dress she wanted. LadyKatza said when she bought it, "She has a pretty strong notion of what she likes at the age of six."
The Result: An adorable dress with charm to spare! I love the colors and the fabric choices. The iridesence of the sleeves and bodice insets adds delicious sparkle, and the flower buttons are the icing on the cake. :D Felicity was a couple sizes smaller than the dress size, but Mom chose to sew the pattern size as-is, since she knew Felicity would grow into it quickly. Here are the first photos she sent me of Felicity in her beautiful new dress, looking super fashionable, complete with stylish boots, purse, and hair ribbons.
And now, two years later, a recent photo now shows the dress fitting perfectly and Felicity still looking superb. Should she choose, Felicity could easily have a modeling career ahead of her! She has adorable looks and such excellent taste in fashion. :D
You can follow the sewing adventures of LadyKatza on her blog: peanutbuttermacrame.blogspot.com/ .
And you'll be seeing more of Felicity and her mother too in future posts. Stay tuned!
Wow, thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteMost women around the world have a problem finding the ideal outfit for an occasion. This is because different occasions call for different dressing styles. So a dinner party with friends and family will require a different sort of a dress as compared to a party with your date at the club.
