A Fairy Princess Dress: Vogue 1931

This re-issued pattern from 1957 will make you wish you had a ball to attend. It has an enormous skirt, which really needs a stiff petticoat to make the most of it, and comes with two strapless bodice options. One, has decorative lacing down the front and is attached to the skirt. The other one, the fairy princess one, has a separate “overbodice” as they call it, which goes over the dress and which has a pleated frill added along the top edge, a draped apron below (although they call it a  pannier,” French for basket) and then a great, big bow at the back which closes with 10 buttons.

The late 1950s was the era of the hour-glass silhouette, and while romantic looks in evening dresses had been popular since the late 1940s, and was clearly the selling point here, notice how spare the grey version was, a sign of change to come. The dress requires over 10 yards of fabric at 60″ wide for the dress itself (it is mostly the skirt) and the additional overbodice takes up around 3 yards. 

Quite something. In fact, I am pretty sure you can’t even put it on by yourself in the bowed version. As to the making, remember that strapless dresses are built from the waist upwards. The boning which is inserted within the lining is what defies gravity for you, and you should definitely muslin the bodice to make sure it fits nicely. I don’t see any indication in the description, but most strapless dresses also benefit from an inner belt which helps hold the shape of the dress in and up as well.

The fabrics recommended are ones to make you sigh: silk organdie, taffeta, moire, faille, chiffon and crepe, as well as barathea which is a silk/cotton birds-eye weave with one fabric as the warp and one as the weft. No, I have never seen one either. Notice some are crispy, and some very soft and drapey, so first decide how big you want to appear and whether you want to add that petticoat. and then pick your fabric. If you compare the width of the skirts in the illustrations v. those in the line drawings and you see what a petticoat would do.

My latest creation:

I made this two-piece outfit for our Hunger Games theme party. Instead of going literal and recreating a gown or outfit from one of the movies, I decided to just create a bold and eye-catching look. The skirt and top are from a Vogue pattern I picked up a few years ago. When I brought the pattern, I bought the houndstooth as well knowing that would be a good look but wasn't sure what to do for the top. Those of you who have known me for a while might be thinking that color combo looks familiar on me.

It's not just a repeat of my wedding gown colors, the top is made with the same fabric as the sash! The sash pieces were long, leaving lots of usable leftover fabric; more than enough to make a top.

The tiny mirrors were inspired by a dress I saw in an ad from Sak's. I've worked with sequins quite a bit and often have people who think I sewed each sequin on individually rather than buying a fabric covered in sequins. Well, this time I did hand sew each individual mirror.

I'm kind of against hand sewing since a machine does most things better and will use embroidery needles for hand tasks because they're blunter and have larger eyes. But this fabric was too fine so I had to bust out the tiny and sharp hand needles.

Which brings me to the disaster portion of my story...

10:30 pm Friday night, I had put the sewing project down next to me on the couch for a minute to look at my phone. All week I'd been sewing leaned over to one side so Charlie could snuggle in my lap while I work. My obliques were sore enough that I was trying to remember which move in which workout I'd done this week that get that way. None. I was just sitting crooked all week to accommodate snuggle boi.

So! My sewing was on the couch right next to me, with the thread and needle dangling off the edge. I use the double thread technique so the needle is secured and can't come off without breaking the thread. And I catch Charlie chomping on that dangling thread. I scold him and grab the thread and pull. But he pulled back and the thread snapped. And he ran away. At once I'm thinking, "where's the needle?" And start checking the floor where he'd been standing. Michael heard me holler so he went to the cat and saw Charlie gagging in the hall. A little saliva or bile was coughed up but no needle! Now I'm absolutely freaking out and calling the emergency vet only to find out they're not just closed for the evening, they're closed until Sunday. And I read about what happens if your cat ingests something sharp like a needle and now neither Michael or I can go to sleep.

The cat was acting normal so we did go to bed (but not until two am) and I talked to his regular vet first thing in the morning. And we pack up and go to the emergency vet at Cornell over an hour away. And of course Charlie poops in his crate while I'm driving so I have to clean that up in a Burger King parking lot that I knew was right off the 81 in Tully.

The vets were able to see Charlie, take an x-ray, and determine that the needle could likely be removed via endoscopy. Meanwhile, I still need to finish sewing these tiny mirrors for the party the same night. So I'm the crazy lady who's like, "My cat swallowed a sewing needle!" All while continuing to sew with another needle with the same characteristics in the waiting room. I even pulled it out in the exam room with the vet to show the way the needle was attached to the thread and describe how the thread would have to have broken in two places for the cat to have swallowed thread as well.

Seeing the x-ray with the needle was kind of a relief. Up until then, part of me thought maybe the needle was lost in the carpet at home and I was overreacting. Nope, this naughty boy did in fact swallow the needle and spending the day at the vet was the correct choice.

Here's my healthy boi, needle free, happy and recovering at home. We finally got to leave Cornell around four pm, after Charlie woke up from anesthesia. The endoscopy doc offered me the needle to take home but I politely declined. I was excited to see it though. They also confirmed no trauma to the esophagus or stomach, so he's going to recover well.

Moral of the story: don't let your cat swallow a sewing needle.

Winter successes and failures

What have I been up to during winter hibernation? While I am behind on some of my winter projects, I was able to finish up a #Butterick retro sweater dress, a #VeronikaSkirt and another #Vogue top for the season.

I get it when there's only one copy of an old pattern from 50 years ago online and it's $100+ but when it's a pattern from 8 years ago that's bullshit

#I need a sugar daddy but just for sewing patterns #I paid $100+ including postage for vogue 8551 #I have others very old ones that I have thrifted that sell for more than that #but simplicity 8298 came out in 2016 #there's no reason for it to be $100 USD #when patterns are like $5 on sale

The Perfect Shirtwaist Dress? Vogue 8013 from 1953

This fit and flare dress with pleated bodice and skirt, raglan sleeves and lower-calf skirt strikes me as close to the perfect spring or summer dress. The silhouette was a common one in the early 1950s when a bottom-heavy hour-glass with soft shoulders and longer skirts was popular. This silhouette first surfaced with Christian Dior’s New Look in 1947, although the American version was never quite as pinched in the waist nor as long in the skirt. The original did stand away from the body more than my version, but there is no reference to a petticoat in the pattern. They recommended so many fabrics that it was clear that they thought it an adaptable model. All kind of cottons, such as chambray, pique, gingham, denim, plus more formal fabrics including silk shantung and wool crepe which would make it a party dress or an office work dress.

The raglan sleeves mean it is relatively easy to make as you avoid the easing of set-in sleeves. The sleeves are short with jaunty, shaped turn-up cuffs which broaden the body at the bustline and thus balance the hips which is fine by me. The collar is similarly simple and turns up enough at the back to shield your neck from the sun. 

Ok, I did tweak a few things as you can see. The biggest one is messing with the front opening, stopping it at the waistline and then added a side snap-placket in order to make it possible to get over the head. The idea of ending a row of buttons at crotch height has always seemed silly to me. A placket cut on a slight bias works best. I recommend a two-strip placket binding each seam allowance separately , instead of trying to make a single strip that goes down one seam allowance and up the other. Two strips eliminate having to cut far into the seam allowance at the turn, and avoids any chance of shredding the fabric as a result.  The buttonholes were supposed to be bound, but I did simple machine-made ones. I eliminated the pockets in the side seam as this is an awkward placement; the natural bend of the arm puts the hand well in front of the side seam. Otherwise, it is the same dress.

The original directions did not call for any interfacing, but I used it on the front facings of the bodice and the collar because of the buttonholes and because I like a collar with some stiffness. I did not interface the turn-up cuffs which are finished on the inside with a bias band of fabric. This is made from a white and spring green fabric that I overdyed blue. The result is a teal blue shirtwaist dress that is comfortable in the heat without being bare. I like it so much I am already pondering what fabric to use for the next time I make it.

Chapitre 188 - The Ruins on That Day

The splash text reads:

Wounds that do not heal, a Light that I cannot see

Onwards... Even so, I just keep moving onwards

And ohhh this is so striking!

This is the cover that slaps you in the face with what it wants you to be looking at. All the lines and angles draw the visual focus directly to Lava Lamp’s eye as he stares directly back. It’s quite the confronting moment. It’s defiant. It calls back to the heavy lidded focus he had when he was still missing part of his soul and hadn’t had the chance to be anything other than his goals for years and years of his life. And arguably this is still the case, but with slight windows of characterisation opening up every now and again, almost against his will - which is very much in line with the splash text. Lava Lamp has dedicated himself to this existence of SUFFERING in order to fix [the big important something], and he would seemingly trade away any part of himself to make it happen and see it as more than a fair trade. Or more than that. He sees his suffering as irrelevant. He sees his suffering as something that must happen, and he will pay it again and again until he achieves his goal.

But all that aside! Here in the image the stark contrast of light and dark gives us the Full Syaoran Imagery Experience, especially when combined with the inversed colours in the background. The play of black and white against each other is trying to evoke the conflict between the Syaorans and just how different they are - and the focus on the eye in particular is hammering this home. Because what IS his eye here, other than a dark circle with a smaller circle of white within? It’s a banner showing his half of the yin yang symbol and a call back to everything this is a metaphor to. 

And on a more story level, the Evil Wolverine Magic Prison Lines are here as a timely reminder of what happened to Lava Lamp so that we’re thinking about it while we finally get to visit the Clow Ruins and presumably find out more about that all happened in the first place. 

Which I can’t wait to see :D

#Clamp like #Gotta remind the audience of this thing #But we gotta be VOGUE about it or why bother #And they’re right #Liveblogging the Reservoir Chronicle #Vol 188 #Lava Lamp Guy #Tsubasa #I LOVE the gentle touch of his finger to the pattern #With his face so unreadable in its determination #We don’t know ANYTHING about he feels about that scenario #And he’s not telling us here either #And I was going to mention Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen #But then I quickly realised that this is pretty much the Curse indicator in anime as a whole #How did I never make that connection #Please forgive me I haven’t read Naruto

Take Two for 2022: Sew Buttons

Take two for 2022, where I tackle a #VoguePatterns knit top to replace the one I messed up on four years ago. This taught me that sometimes the right pattern is key.
