Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is from a late 50s pattern. It has a stand-up collar, buttons down the front and a gathered bodice back. I made it from Jo-Ann’s new plaid fabric in a grey and green plaid. I hemmed the skirt and sleeves by hand and made self covered buttons. I really like how it turned out, at it was my first attempt to match plaid.More details and pictures on my blog

Wow, I can totally picture Peggy wearing this, what with the plaid and the crazy collar! Did you like working with the Plaiditude fabric? I’ve been eyeballing it for the past few weeks.

I added some ease because I thought it would be wayyy to tight and then I ended up taking in the side seams a bunch to make it fit right. So in the end, I should have just left it as is

What a great cold-weather dress! So stylish and looks perfectly well-made. You’re my sewing hero! (Or one of them).
P.S. I tried to post this comment on your blog and failed… None of the options for signing a comment work for me, I don’t know!
