Finished the McCall's M7734 pattern pack. April is wearing the t-shirt, shirt, hoodie, trousers and bag. The hat looks weird with her high ponytail. The bundle was good, and it was really nice to see more masculine outfits! Not everyone wants super girly girls and boys clothes are hard to find. I'd rate the pattern highly, as the only real issue I had was getting a 6inch separating zipper. The bag is terrible but that was my fault.

Overall I really enjoyed this pack and will definitely be making more of these super cute shirts in the future.

About that Bustline: McCalls 8338

This re-issued pattern from the 1930s explains why the Dress Doctors could sometimes tsk-tsk poor design in women’s clothing. We could debate all day about modesty versus prudishness, about sexual double standards, and other factors, historical and contemporary, in fashion’s display of women’s bodies. My critique of this pattern is the design is trying to hard.

As the pattern description states: “Gathers... create fullness in the bustline.” True, gathers have the obvious advantage of increasing bulk wherever they appear, whether at the bustline or the hipline. In various historical eras, when a particular kind of silhouette became the fashion, designers used gathers to allow women to create the illusion of more curves than they possessed.  But by outlining each breast with an obvious curve, the cut of this dress seems kind of desperate. As if the wearer is saying, Yes, I really do have breasts under here! Oh yes, I do! See? You can imagine more subtle cuts to the bodice that would create a similar silhouette. The other design details, Peter Pan collar, puffy shoulders and sleeves indicate this is a young woman’s dress, so why make her so self-conscious of her figure? I am seeing it from the point of view of the small-busted woman here, you may have noticed.

Of course, women’s evening wear has bared women’s flesh and form in obvious ways too, but this looks to be a day dress done up as it was in small patterns. And the suggestions for fabrics are crepes, linens and woolens with none of the fabrics usually recommended for evening. It looks to date to the late 1930s when the waistline was clearly defined and when hemlines were moving up to just below the knee where they would be frozen for the duration of World War II.

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!

Currently crying because I can't find cool vintage 80s patterns that fit me. Particularly the one pictured here doesn't fit me in any that survive and I am sad

Using McCalls 8110, I recreated this wonderful beach dress. I'm slowly trying to update my cloths with a style I actually like.
