It is quite difficult in the XXI century to surprise someone with a new original outfit. But, as you know, everything new is well forgotten old, and the popularity of retro-style in clothing is confirmed.
My mother is a passionate needlewoman and engaged in sewing from the young age. Revising the fashion magazines survived by her, in the French edition of "100 ideas", dated December 1974, I came across a charming dress model. Immediately caught up with the idea of sewing myself the same!
Easy to cut and fulfill, such a dress is still relevant, and the kimono sleeves give him a special charm!
Pattern Dress with Open Sleeve
This dress can be worn and warm, and in the cold season: it all depends on the selection. For the summer option, light cotton or flax is suitable, and a warmer model can be sewed from knitwear or costume fabric ...
Dress pattern circuit is available for understanding even those who are not familiar with French. For size 38-40 (this is our 44-46), you need a cut of a tissue with a length of 2 meters. To increase the dresses on the size, you need to add 1.5 centimeters everywhere through the contour.
The silhouette is simulated thanks to the folds-folds coming from the chest. In them, you need to sew a wide belt.
Beginning the retro pattern, applying modern fabrics and accessories, you can get a sophisticated style of the past in a modern interpretation. Having liked the outfit took exactly the evening, and I am satisfied with the result, and my mother!
