The Unfitted Fifties: Butterick 6889

I always warn my students that there were styles that ignored some of the main fashion trends of a given decade, see this re-issued pattern Butterick 6889 from the 1950s. When we think 1950s, we tend to think of the impact of the New Look by Christian Dior from 1947: best known for its soft shoulders, tiny waists, and long full skirts. Dior actually created a very skinny, tight dress silhouette that year too, but we usually overlook it. While the New Look had a huge impact on fashion for years to come, other looks did show up.

Take this dress pattern from the 1950s which has the longer, fuller skirt, but leaves the waist entirely unfitted. There are darts at the upper bodice but otherwise no bust darts. The sleeves are mere cut-on cap sleeves with shoulder pads created for them which seems very 1940s, and then buttons close the side. The whole design reminded me of Claire McCardell who first made her name with the unfitted Monastic Dress in the 1930s and then had many designs in later years which were loose at the waist, but tied in various ways. 

This is certainly much easier to wear than all those fitted bodices and small waists which relied on foundation garments, the Spanx of their day. Also, it was far easier to iron. It is best made in the soft fabrics with drape that they recommend including crepe, challis, rayon. Anything stiffer could not create the soft gathers at the waistline. You don’t have to worry about matching print patterns either as you have 1 front and 1 back pattern pieces

I know you're all dying to know how my SIL's dress is coming along (or maybe it's just me lol)

anyways:

We did another fitting with the skirt basted on and it turned out the back waistline was too low:

Thank you to @shielade who pointed this out!

So I raised the waistline bit and I think it looks better now:

I also took the tiniest amount of width away from the center back. There's still some wrinkles there but at this point we just deal...

The dress is actually finished by now! Tbh it's not something I'm proud of at all. Towards the end I truly hated every stitch. Buuuut! An important thing I've learned is that non-sewing people (most of the time) won't even notice your mistakes -at all! So I'm probably stressing about nothing!

Dress is done, it fits and the poor girl has something to wear! So there's that!

After many months of only taking clothes in, finally sewing something new again. Working on a corset top. Butterick B5797. Taking me forever, but hopefully will get it done in the next few weeks.

Winter successes and failures

What have I been up to during winter hibernation? While I am behind on some of my winter projects, I was able to finish up a #Butterick retro sweater dress, a #VeronikaSkirt and another #Vogue top for the season.

Pattern Overload!

I have a LOT of doll patterns that I've picked up over the years of hoarding fabric and patterns I was planning on making when I 'got better' at sewing.

I was planning on getting better via osmosis - the knowledge in the fibers and the paper instructions would magically seep into my brain despite my never actually practicing, reading or using any of them.

So aside from a huge stash of fabric with no patterns in mind, and a whole BUNCH of patterns that I now find I have no desire to make....

These are here. I'll got through them one by one for ease:

My Etsy patterns are from Pemberley Threads - these are historical patterns based on actual dresses worn in the past. I LOVE historical dress and am really excited to start these but I'm a little nervous as they are... complicated!

The Many Teens: Butterick 4209

This pattern from the 1960s shows how companies involved in any element of the clothing trade catered to the booming teen population. “Young Junior” and “Teen” as you see at the bottom of the pattern envelope created a practically redundant set of sizes. 

A size 9 Young Junior was Bust 30.5 Waist 23.5 Hips 32.5

While a size 10 Teen was Bust 30, Waist 24, Hips 32

With only a half inch between sizes, 1/16th of an inch larger or smaller is all it took for each side seam. Any dressmaker would tweak the pattern on the wearer by that much if needed during the fitting process. So, why even bother creating different sizes? Perhaps to cater to the identity of being a teen in an age which admired youthful fashion above all else. The ruffled style may seem young to our eyes, with its ribbons and ruffles, but the empire style bodice with slightly flared skirt below was worn even by mature women of the era.  Notice too this was a formal style worn for a party or wedding. Each one of the models has a pair of white gloves with her. So this was before the very late 1960s when all ideas of dressing formality were considered retrograde.

The pattern company was also reaching out to young dressmakers. The back of the envelope boasts in red block print: “See the new improved Sewing Guide for fast, easy-to-follow instructions.” Yet his was not a super simple pattern. The bodice is darted as well as bowed or ruffled, and while the skirt is easy enough, a full zipper is topped with a hook and eye at the back of the dress. The fabric suggestions indicate the era too with “synthetics, bonded lace” starting the list and cotton, silk, and pique finishing it off. Bonded meant already backed with another fabric or permanent interfacing creating a stiffish fabric that kept its A-line silhouette.
