A Lesson Learned the Hard Way

[andreahg]

Today, we have yet another failure. This is Patt-o-rama 8304. Haven’t heard of Patt-o-rama before? Neither had I until I came across this one. Now, I see it everywhere. I LUV the neckline on this dress. Little details like that are what I like about vintage patterns. Also, it came in my size, which is a rarity in 50’s pattern.

Come to think of it -- all my dresses are summer-y, too. I haven't made a single winter thing yet. I don't think I'm quite good enough to work with heavier materials. I just worked with satiny crepe and that was a fun experience!!

Long sleeves + my sewing = fail. I also seem to lack winter clothing.

I wonder if you could do the sleeves and some skirt panels in a complimentary color/fabric if you can't get more of what you're using?

No winter vintage here but I live in AZ. What do I need it for? Translation: mid 70s on the drive home.

I like how the bodice fits you, though. That neckline looks great on you!

Wow! i mean WOW! That bodice and neckline are EXTREMELY flattering! i learned a while ago that v-neck- type necklines are much more flattering on me than turtlenecks and things that make my chest look like one huge balloon. That neckline is sweet! Pity about the sleeve but, wow! :-D
