I just wanted to share with you all what a little vintage flare can do for costuming.
Last Easter some friends and I dressed up as the avengers for a role playing convention. But with a sweet vintage twist. By using a vintage 1950’s reprint (Butterick 5603) pattern we created our favourite superhero’s super classy.
This pattern is one I would definitely recommend, the fit and style are so flattering and with 3 neckline choices there is definitely something for everyone.

This made me smile – I particularly like Captain America and Iron Man. What kind of feedback did you get from the convention crowd?
in honesty I got told I looked like a ww2 nurse lol. If you didn’t have at least 2 of us together some of the costumes got lost. Obviously not captain america or Ironman though lol
That is awesome! 🙂
I really like this unique idea! It has inspired me.
That is super fun! What a lovely job!
This is really clever! They all look lovely
Great job! I love it when people use a vintage twist in costuming. I did something very similar last spring for Comic Con St. Louis. I put a vintage twist onto a Rogue from the X-Men costume.
I like feminising supers without making them “trampy” I would love to see your vintage rogue.
I love this! Classy costumes for a con. Very impressive. 🙂
