I wanted to share one of my latest sewing projects with you. It’s a 1938 Lutterloh pattern from one of the Lutterloh books I have.
There were some difficulties with the pattern. I used the special ruler which you need to draft the minature patterns and made a first muslin. It was one big disaster. There were so many fitting issues.
I decided to do things differently and drafted my own pattern. I had a lot of help from my sewing teacher, because I never drafted raglan sleeves before.
I also didn’t know what to do with the neckline (see picture below). I wanted a black bow collar but the result wasn’t like what I imagined. So I removed the collar and added a seperate blow. Now the necklkine looked too plain. Then I got another idea, adding a black trim. To give the neckline a subtle black accent.
In the end I’m very happy with the result. You can read more about the dress on my blog!
Your dress is really beautiful and the black trim and bow are perfect!
Thanks!
I really like the black trim, and your dog is very cute! In one picture, I thought, “Is that a miniature horse behind her?” 🙂
Haha! It’s a big dog!
That is so pretty. Your vintage hairstyling is so good.
Thanks! I have to give all the credits to Robin of Madame de Pompadour. She is specialized in vintage hair styling! She did a great job!
Your dress turned out lovely and you look beautiful in it! The black trim looks perfectly paired with the fabric.
This is such a stunning make, excellent work!
This is really good! I don’t often see good 30s reproductions so it’s good to see a nice one. Even if there were fitting issues, it looks fab!
Thanks ladies! Because it took me so much time making this pattern I’m planning to use the pattern again but with some small changes.
The contrast of the black trim against the floral is so striking, gorgeous!
Really pretty!
