I have just taken a pic of my latest creation, Mail order 9140 – view A.
I used op shop fabric and vintage buttons. The pattern is size 14 1/2, came together very easily, and the final result looks just like the pattern envelope. I made no changes to the pattern, and am so happy with the fit of the darts etc. that I am going to use this pattern as the template for a new sloper. My other sloper does not fit as well as this dress. I love the look of the fabric, with the border in the jacket and the bottom of the dress. I love the cross-over neck fastening.
I had curled my hair overnight, and I must say, I felt very elegant and fabulous as I walked to work. I love dressing like a lady!
As usual, more info on my blog.
Lovely!! Mail order patterns are so great and your hair looks wonderful!
This is so fab! And the hair- the perfect finishing touch 😀
Such an adorable ensemble! You look completely vintage, and you did a great job sewing it!
Happy sewing,
Katrina
