Following a 1920’s Dress Pattern : Sewing Through the Decades

in Sewing on 06/24/18

Not my favorite decade, but I made it through!

The pattern is number 6208 – I’m unsure of the brand, as it wasn’t listed. Purchased on ebay.

The fabric was from fabric mart fabrics

My nail polish is Mr.Mint by cupcake polish. It is THE BEST!

Shoes were from DSW

As always with these pieces, in hindsight I would have done things a little differently (in addition to gathering the sleeves, I would lower the belt a bit and do more finishing work by hand).

I struggled a LOT with the belt. it was pinned and sewn on a good dozen times before I finally went with this placement. When it was lower, it caught on my hipbones and pushed the skirt up causing a break in the pleats (they folded over the belt, even when they were tacked and it was stitched down) I’m still kind of shocked about what a pain placing it was!
