Threads, May 2020

Threads is now out and it offers all kinds of technical articles as the cover shows you, including how to design and made your own sports bra by Kimberly Larcom. Since my own are boring, black, and bought, I was amazed at the strap configurations you see here. 

Judith Neukam takes a vintage coat in cream with pink banded edges from 1965 by French designer Jacques Esterel and shows you how to add them to your own garments with step-by-step directions. Once again, I was reminded how the details on vintage garments were one of the reasons that women did not expect to own that many: they took time and skill and their cost was higher as a result. Even this mid-1960s, “mod” look is a well-crafted effort even as the Youth Quake was hitting.  Speaking of vintage, Brian Centrone has an article on vintage patterns that were inspired by Hollywood films, including the 1930s frock you see here attributed to Bette Davis, with the gathered jabot, the large sleeves, and the lower-calf hemline that was typical of the mid-1930s.

There are also articles on thimbles on the winners of the challenge for the members of the Association of Sewing and Design Professionals or ASDP, on using liquid stabilizer, and on applique technique. Plus advice columns, new products, new patterns, etc. Always plenty for both the newer dressmaker and the more advanced.

Brigitte Bardot and Jacques Charrier on their wedding day, June 18th 1959.

Bardot is wearing the famous pink and white gingham dress with a Peter Pan collar made of English lace, specially designed for her by Jacques Esterel. The dress caused a sensation, and young women around the world flock to buy Gingham dresses and skirts. Gingham was in, and it was big. First it was pink and white, then blue and white, then yellow and white - gingham was everywhere. Shops in Paris reported they couldn’t keep their shelves stocked with gingham. One store owner in London’s Oxford street reported that 20 young girls a day were walking into his place and all of them were buying gingham dresses. Gingham wasn’t used for just dresses and skirts - gingham slacks, shorts, bathing suits, waistcoats and underwear could all be found on the shelves. Gingham was a huge sensation and is still worn and loved today.
