A couple of years ago, I swore that jumpsuits, house pajamas, but not onesies, would be the way of the future. It just took me a while to make my own! And I’m in love.
I made version ‘B’ of this pattern, Vogue 6435, earlier this year, and loved it. But it was really only suitable for warm days, the height of summer. Un/Fortunately, that was not good enough! I needed more, and I needed them fast.
So, I teamed up the pants with my go-to vintage kimono blouse pattern and voila! This is my dream outfit. Can’t stop wearing it!
It goes perfectly with my cape made from the same fabric, so I am very happy.
With the cape…
It was not smooth sailing with this project, and I have more details and photos over on my blog of course. I cannot wait to make another one!
Happy sewing, Angela xo
This color suits you very well! The … Gathered hem? Closed cuff? I have no idea what you call the bottom of View A, but it reminds me of I Dream of Jeannie, albeit much more demure up top! Is the pattern from after ’65?
Thank you! yes, I know what you mean, very I Dream of Jeannie, there is no date on the pattern that I can find..
Great job! I’m working on a jumpsuit myself right now.
Awesome!
I have never been a big fan of the jumpsuit…..but, girl!!! This is fabulous!
Thank you! I love them now, and quickly made another…no photos yet though 🙂
I am a fellow jumpsuit enthousiast 😉 and yours looks great!
You remind me: I will definitely need another jumpsuit this year…
I am hooked now too, 🙂
I love the jumpsuit and I love your hair. I wish I knew how to do my hair like that.
Oh thanks, I’m having a bad time with my hair, it’s over due a cut.
This is mostly just heaps of backcombing all across the front and top…I found some good tips in a vintage hair style book. Also it’s very thick so ‘body’ and ‘boffyness’ is usually easy to achieve 😉
Never would have thought that a jumpsuit could look so elegant, I love it and I can’t remember having said that about a jumpsuit ever 😉
love, ette
Thank you Ette, I feel the same. . . I just love this one x
