1960s Mod Neutrals from Young Designer Gerald McCann

Neutral colors are huge this winter season, so these two Mod fashions from London designer Gerald McCann and the late 1960s seem especially timely. Even down to the contrasting plaid revers and peek-a-boo pleat on the dress. I love the buttons and bow. Designed for Butterick patterns, both are very "Carnaby Street" in their style and totally hip. And look at their shoes - now are those fun, or what?

  1. Love the style on the left with that little bit of plaid. Funny, the photo looks great and I would instantly give it a try, but the drawing looks terrible, like a house dress or one of these apron-dresses of that time, if you would have shown me this first I would have never even considered making this. Now I really should check my pattern stash for something similar.

    1. Hello, Ette! I couldn't agree more! The drawings simply do NOT do justice to these fab little numbers. If you find this pattern in your stash, let me know! I would love to see how it turns out. :)

  2. I would rather like both of these, especially if I could get hold of the shoes too.
