Today I'm pattern drafting and sewing up a dress design from 1949 with bust flappy awnings and shining iridescent silk. That's right, flappies, the extra flounces often found above the bust in vintage styles. Do they have another name?
The vintage pattern design in question: vintagepatterns.fandom.com/wiki/Advance_5333
This fabric at Silk Baron: silkbaron.com/product_p/1692.htm
This lining from Mood: moodfabrics.com/grape-royale-and-moonlight-blue-bi-color-beetles-jacquard-lining-325929
The interlineing from Mood: moodfabrics.com/white-lightweight-interlining-or-stiffener-fc22660
Music and Sound Effects from Epidemic Sound.
Thank you Patrons!
