I’m sewing five 1930′s dresses for our theatre’s production of ‘Fallen Angels’ next month – this next one is using Vogue 8767, from their ‘Vintage Vogue’ line. From the pattern envelope:
The finished product will be done in a beautiful red silk jacquard , with sheer red for the jabot. I can’t wait to see how that silk drapes – it should be beautiful! In the meantime, my toile:

Fairly basic construction, although the jabot facing was a little fiddly. We’re doing this in a medium weight silk with a nice drape, so hopefully the bias facing will go in easier than the bias tape I cheated with for the toile. ![]()
More photos at my blog, here!

Your toiles look better than my finished garments!
Kinda jealous, not gonna lie…
Can’t wait to see the final product!

love the cut of that jacket,I would so wear that and I don’t do white or light.Nicely made your theater must love you.
Thank you! I am really tempted to make myself one of these – it would look beautiful in a lightweight wool flannel, with a nice pair of jeans and a crisp white shirt!
OH, it’s gorgeous! This gives a much better shot of the ruffles than the actual pattern cover did, so I just might be using this pattern myself.
Thanks for sharing!

This is going to be amazing, not in the least bit jealous xmx
Do you have any photos of the finished facing on the jabot facing? I just finished my toile of this pattern and really had a rough time sorting it out. when it’s on me it looks fine and dandy, but the construction detail just looks awkward to me. I’m sure you did better than I did!
