Pattern Name/Number 2985 vintage
Pattern Description This is a I'm guessing 50s little girl party dress with a tucked bodice, super full skirt, and sash.
Which view and size did you make? view 3 size 1
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes
If not, why? -
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes
If not, why? They were very technical though.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved the style. I think it had figured french seaming into the seams so it called for different sizes in different places. This wasn't bad but I had to really pay attention.
Fabric used Moda quilters cotton from the sultry and swanky lines
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend I used the contrast for the band between the tucks and skirt. I also used contrast for the sash. Oh and I did most of my finishing with my serger.
Would you sew this pattern again? Yes
Would you recommend this pattern to others? Yes
Any additional comments Pictures are in the vintage sewing contest forum.
