Valmista tuli! Pakoilin oikeita töitä keskittymällä omiin hömpötyksiini ja sainkin mekon nopeasti valmiiksi.
Päätin kuitenkin säilyttää mekon venemäisen pääntien tajuttuani, etten oikeastaan omista yhtään venepääntiellä varustettua vaatetta. Lopputulos ei ole ihan yhtä leveä kuin alkuperäisessä mallissa, muuten rintsikan olkaimet olisivat jääneet näkyviin. Muokkasin yläosaa varten 50-luvun rantahaalarin kaavaa, helmaosan tein melkein suoraan hameen peruskaavasta. Muutin vain etukappaleen muotolaskokset pehmeiksi laskoksiksi. Lyhensin myös hieman helmaa alkuperäisestä ja lisäsin kokonaisuuten vyön, no, koska vyöt on kivoja ja minusta se viimeistelee mekon kivasti.
Olen todella tyytyväinen lopputulokseen, ja etenkin yläosa istuu kuin hansikas. Kangaskin pääsee kivasti oikeuksiinsa yksinkertaisessa mallissa.

It's finished! I was avoiding real work by concentrating on my own projects, so I was able to finish this dress rather quickly.
I decided to keep the boat neck line on the dress after I realized I didn't own any dress with this type of neck line. It's just not quite as wide as the original or my bra straps would have shown. I used a 50's play-suit pattern for the bodice and the skirt I made from a basic skirt block. I only replaced the front darts with pleats. I also made the skirt a little shorten than the original and added a belt, well, because I like belts and I think it finishes the garment nicely.
I'm very please with how this dress turned out. the bodice fits like a glove and the simple style of the dress compliments the bold pattern of the fabric.
First lets have a look at the inspiration photo:
I fitted the dress over some authentic vintage shape wear so now I'm forced to wear that every time I wish wear the dress :D |
Since the front is so "closed" I wanted to make the back a little more open. |
Sorry about my poor hair do :D

Stunning! What pattern did you use?
ReplyDeleteI used a 50's playsuit -pattern from a German sewing magazine for the bodice, but I modified it quite a bit. I drafted a basic skirt block for the skirt and turned the front darts into open pleats.
