Butterick 5925 High Waisted Dress & Coat / ca. 1970

 

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.  August is here - perfect time to go to the lake or river.  Whether boating or fishing or picnicing with family and friends it's summer time so go outside and enjoy the sun.  But - remember the sun block and wear a hat!

 

If you haven't read the book or seen Marcus Luttrell being interviewed I highly recommend reading the book Lone Survivor.  A true American hero.  I am looking forward to seeing the movie which Marcus says is absolutely accurate - that it is exactly what he sees in his dreams every night.  This is a picture of the four Seals with Marcus on the right.  A link to the movie trailer is  below.

 

 

LONE SURVIVOR

 

 

This is a true mod fashion statement outfit - Butterick 5925 High Waisted Dress & Coat / ca. 1970.  It has everything you need for a cool fall or winter day when you are being stylish.

You know when a pattern includes the description "frock" it is old!  Mail Order 8121 Elegantly Tailored Frock / ca. 1940's.  The shoulder tucks are truly elegant.

Not old but really useful is this Simplicity 9868 Oversized Top & Slim Boho Pants 1990 which is multi-sized from size 6 to size 24.  The drawstring top is just darling.

That's it for today!  Got finished early and now off to do chores.  Ick.  Laundry, cleaning, etc.

Butterick 5971 Simply Divine Frock with Two-Piece Skirt / ca. 1934

Well didn't get any in yesterday but wow check out some of the awesome patterns put in today.  I got a nice package of vintage patterns yesterday that I scanned and got ready to list.  Put several of the bunch in today.  Just couldn't wait.

Sadly some people who list bunches of patterns for sale just don't do their research.  Maybe they are just glad to get rid of them after a family member passes away or just cleaning out the sewing room. 

 

This one tops my lists of "finds" lately:  Butterick 5971 Simply Divine Frock with Two-Piece Skirt / ca. 1934.  I always hold my breath when I get old patterns that have been stated to be unused.  Much of the time they are as advertised but sometimes ... this one however did not disappoint!  It is FACTORY FOLDED.  It doesn't take much imagination to see this outfit on a woman during the Great Depression.

 

Another from this batch is this Butterick 7611 Full Length or Slim Shortie Coat / ca. 1956.  The short version reminds me a bit of what Audrey Hepburn would have worn.  Lots of time before cool weather hits -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had this one a while back and it sold quickly.  Butterick 2137 Princess Sheath Dress / ca. 1961  - a Hollywood vamp look for sure.

 

A bit later in the 60's and wham the style sure changes:  Simplicity 8392 Jumper or Coat-Dress & Dress with Ascot 1969 a classic mod outfit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another one waiting for cool weather.  I picture the long version at a Hollywood premiere! Simplicity 6680 Casual or Theatrical Cape 1974 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fit for a Goddess off shoulder beauty - Butterick 3481 Graceful One Shoulder Wrap Dress / ca. 1970's which could go under that long cape - ???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Had to throw in this 80's Vogue.  Two different set of sizes too.   I'm a sucker for the "peplum" look:  Vogue 9484 Ooh La La Top, Camisole & Skirt 1986
