Love to see how yours turns out if you manage to make them.

Not as smooth a finish on it now as once was. I promise to try it out this fall (need more gloves for theater costumes). More hats good thing.

I'm glad that Butterick chose these patterns as reproductions,as they are a bit unusual and have lovely details. When it comes to quite a big difference between the B6379's photo and the drawing, I think it is just-as usual-an issue with poor fit on the model; the suit seems to be a size too big, even the sleeves are longish...rvdzikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02374916393161718680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-33067051868712173322016-08-04T08:33:06.197-07:002016-08-04T08:33:06.197-07:00I think you are right about the proportions of the...I think you are right about the proportions of the suit. The drawing looks more 50s but the photo looks more 40s. What a difference a little length is! When you compare the two it definitely looks like the jacket's hem is just lower, so it shouldn't be too difficult an alteration. I'm ear-marking it for the next sale as that pocket looks really interesting! Curved welt pockets!

And I was right! <br /><br />As for the glove material, I don't know what it would be called, but what I do remember from a childhood/teen years of wearing (non-leather) gloves (e.g 1950s to mid-1960s-including whenever we traveled on international flights, went to church, dinners, other special events) is that the material was generally a lightweight to mid-weight cotton with a very little bit of stretch. Of course, we also had fancier gloves that were made of lace or other fine fabrics, too, that were not just for edging or trims, but for the full glove. Growing up, I remember going to glove shops where that was the only items sold and seeing hundreds and hundreds of different types of gloves--but this was mostly in UK and Europe. In fact, the last time I was in a stand alone glove shop was in the Piazza Di Spagna by the Spanish Steps in Rome. I believe it is still there.

I'm sure I'd get twice as much done if I turned the computer off! <br /><br />I'm glad you pointed out the discrepancy between the jacket length of 6379, I hope the pattern is actually the shorter length. It's amazing what a difference a little added length can make to the whole look! And I really love the dress 6374, I will definitely be buying this pattern. The glove pattern is also very tempting, but yes, you need the right fabric, and I too have no idea what that is called, sorry!Amaranthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07202417271696830223noreply@blogger.com
