Today I’ve gotten side tracked by the 1930s because of a lovely piece of rust and cream herringbone wool given to me by a friend that just needed to be made into something 1930s and fabulous. Eva Dress SE30-1399 had been waiting in my pattern stash for just such an opportunity!
It goes smashingly with this 1930s sweater I also recently knit from A Stitch in Time Vol. 2. This whole ensemble has me wishing for more wintery days so I can wear it!
Find more details and a pattern review on my blog.

Beautiful! So smart of you to shorten the cape. I made this pattern up last winter, and I hardly ever wear it; it seems like the cape is just the wrong length! I love your version!
Stunning outfit. I love the colours together and the shape and length of the cape is so elegant.
Just checking – its a dress with a knit on top, not a skirt and knit?
It’s a skirt with a sweater, not a dress.
im very jealous of your knitting! ive been dreaming of knitting an entire garment, instead of just scarves, but havent learned yet! the cape & skirt are so lovely with the mustard sweater!
I am having some serious cape envy. How lovely!!!!
Inspired! How I wish I had a cape to remake. Beautiful combination!
OH!! I LOVE your sweater!!! I like the complete outfit
This is beautiful. I’m so envious of knitters. The whole ensemble is perfection
Oh! Very lovely!
It’s a very cute outfit- love the colours!
Very nice outfit. I love the colors!
