Stitch Her Style - Glorious 39

It has taken me a while to find these but I thought it was about time I shared with you the modern patterns which I think would re-create some of the fabulous Glorious 39's outfits.

Butterick McCall B5182
I love this dress and the Butterick version is so similar I actually squealed when I saw it.

Butterick Retro 5152: 1948 Dressing Gown
Not quite the same but lovely none the less

Burda Style V-neck dress $5.40 (Download)

Burda Style: Ute $3.50 (Download)

Simplicity S3688: Retro 1940s Pattern 

Simplicity S4044 Misses & Plus Size 1940s Retro Suit 

Both of the above Simplicity Retro patterns are definitely worth having in your collection if you're a vintage fan, as they both offer a good range of separates, and finding original 40s patterns of separates can be difficult and expensive especially trouser patterns.

Craft Stylish: Beret Pattern by Nicole Smith FREE
Love this Beret tutorial, you can choose to make it plain or add the cutwork pattern, which I think is rather nice too.

Burda Style : Sailors Neck Dress $5.40

Simplicity - 2501 Blouse pattern 

I think that it would be really easy to turn this blouse into a bolero. The sleeves are almost spot on, the only changes would be to shape the neckline by removing the button band and neck tie.

Simplicity - 2501 Blouse pattern 
Same Pattern as the bolero above, this time using version B with the long floaty sleeves.

Stitch Her Style - South Riding

After falling in love with the BBC's South Riding, costume department a few posts ago now, I thought it was about time I shared with you some of the modern patterns which I found that I think would create the fabulous 30's South Riding look.
The benefit of using modern patterns is they can be a fraction of the cost of a vintage pattern from eBay or Etsy and they all are multi-sized so no head scratching re-sizing!

So here some of the best...

8503 Blouse : Burda : sizes: 12 to 24

  Adding a little height to the sleeve pattern would give a perfect puffed sleeve.

This could also easily double as a waistcoat pattern

  

M6206 Misses'/Miss Petite Lined Jackets McCall's

M6148 Misses' Shirts McCall's

KS 3668 Misses' Blouses Kwik Sew

S4221 Misses or Plus Size Skirt, and Pullover Tops Simplicity

Loved the floaty teal top and feel that this Simplicity pattern is as near to it as possible, just add two diagonal rows of pin tucks and a larger bow and your there!

 

Essentially for the Miss Burton style a high waisted, long ankle length, pencil skirt ...

 

M3830 MISSES' SKIRTS IN 5 LENGTHS McCall's

6917 Misses' Pencil Skirt sizes 8 to 18 New Look
this one is very reminiscent of a stunning skirt made by Nabby!!

V8697 Misses'/Misses' Petite Skirt Vogue ( Easy )

V2859 MISSES' JACKET, BLOUSE AND DRESS Vogue Pattern ( ADVANCED )
This Vintage Vogue pattern from the 30's is practically perfect in every way!

D30-1379 Ladies' Dinner Dress, circa 1934

And if your feeling a little more adventurous and are prepared to do a little re-sizing, on some beautiful vintage repro patterns then, these from Eva Dress are just fantabulous!  I want them all !!!
