The bolero adds so much to it, and when I wore a similar bolero and dress ensemble, an older lady told me "That is exactly how we used to dress in the 50s!" <br /><br />Happy sewing!<br /><br />Katrina<br />www.edelweisspatterns.com/blogKatrina - Edelweiss Patternshttp://www.edelweisspatterns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-55444872127619907682011-09-06T20:15:22.982-07:002011-09-06T20:15:22.982-07:00@Rosy Rosy - thank you for your kind words!

Eily: I ...Thank you all for the lovely comments! <br /><br />Eily: I did make the petticoat! I borrowed the idea and skirt pattern pieces from Butterick 4792 - another one of those vintage reproductions I have made up. The pattern uses netting sewn directly onto the lining at the hip (probably done to avoid zipper issues, but this also keeps the silhouette a bit more flattering as it does not poof at the tummy). I also love the way the skirt is gathered from side hip to hip, and leaves the center front and back flat – so much more flattering. I have actually used this technique on subsequent projects with some great results.Laura Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288197213619181028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-37055006501556190402011-09-03T08:02:03.841-07:002011-09-03T08:02:03.841-07:00Another beautiful dress, Laura Mae!
