Thanks to you I have discovered Decades of Style. Just what I need as I embark on the whole learning to sew adventure. I don't want to get into using vintage patterns right away but I am also not really interested in modern styles. These are super cute and do lovely things for the tushie. How difficult was this pattern? I am lining up my first couple of projects and I would like to take a crack at these, but may have to wait a bit and get my skills up. The plan is (thanks to Lady Day's advice to someone else) pillow cases, a couple of aprons (some for gifts maybe), an A-line skirt (any good repro patterns out there?), then maybe these overalls.

kymeratale Glad to have inspired you!! I would get some experience before tackling these. jetgirl is right - try a muslin first to fit the bodice. I added darts coming in from the armpit edge and took a slice right down the center. Perhaps not the prettiest, but they seemed to help. And as you can see from the photo, it still poofs. Maybe I should get out my bullet bra! I found the bottom half to fit perfectly in my size, and, yes, it does curve nice over the tush! It was also a bit weird to close up the lining on the bodice. How did it go for you, jetgirl? It seemed confusing on the back where the straps are attached. Zippers can be a bit daunting, but you should get some opportunities to practice topstitching in other projects, kymeratale. I would recommend Decades of Style though. I know others have used them too. Can't wait to see your overalls, jetgirl!!

reconstructed actually, from an average mens button up collar shirt, to a simple peasant top. wound up being shorter than I wanted it, it started out as a rather long shirt lol

Sorry, for the terrible camera phone pic! I finally got around to making this after having materials for about a year. It's Butterick 4093 that I modified to give more of a 1920s styling.

Wow! amazing work everyone. Lady Day that skirt is so flattering. I have a fear of pleats.
Psycho Sue- I love that color combo. I almost didn't recognize the pattern.

I'm going to keep the ball rolling with a pair of overalls I did recently. This was my first crack at this pattern. I added some extra darts and tried to fit the bodice a bit more, but it's still a bit poofy for my tastes. I think I've become uber-picky on fit lately - a horrible side effect of never wearing off-the-rack clothing. The fabric is a bottomweight poly blend with awesome drape. Next pair will be in a print though to hide all my darts!
