remember the “Let’s go to Florida!” gown from here? Well, a full-on dredge of eBay turned up one (not my size, alas) from seller On-A-Moonbeam, who nicely included a scan of the entire front pattern envelope, so now we can really see the lines.
And, hoo boy, look at that skirt! Those are godets, are they not? four of them. The noting shows the back of the pattern, which tells you that the width of the skirt at the hem for a size 16 (B34) is 262 inches. That’s about seven as well as a quarter YARDS. No way I’m hemming that … except, isn’t it gorgeous?
This pattern doesn’t look too challenging to do; this may be a great starter for someone who wants to start off with something glamorous. only don’t make your very first version in satin or velvet or anything slippery as well as costly … try a lightweight cotton, okay? believe me, this gown would be a knockout even if you made it in cotton flannel. Not that I’m recommending that, however hey, if that sounds like fun to you, who am I to quibble?
And thanks to everybody who gave me recommendations for Tokyo; I did go discover Tomato fabrics as well as I did purchase almost my own weight in cotton prints. I’ll have pics in a day or two, I hope …
