Vintage

Zara's choice
Very very vintage.
1979 'ish' 
Spotlight voile from the lovely Justine.
 Very very gathered.
Very very full.
A neat shaped back yoke.
Beautifully shaped sleeves.
Sweet little mandarin collar.
Which fastens with (my signature) mother-of-pearl buttons.

 I loved sewing this blouse. With all the gathering and careful pressing involved it was reasonable amount of work.
But I loved every minute of it!

 Modelled pictures soon, I promise!

      Thank you, it was such a fun sew, a lot of fabric but as it was light floaty voile not heavy to handle.

      Thank you Christine!

      It looks great on her, she has a flair for unusual clothing and her figure (tiny waist bigger hips) looks good in vintage.

    Ooh, what a FABULOUS "vintage" (I'm sorry, but things made AFTER I was born get quotation marks, because I am certainly not vintage) pattern! I can't wait to see it on her! This is one that could go either fabulous or horrendous in real life, but I bet Zara pulls it off.

    I love vintage patterns! Except the sizing... they always make me feel like an elephant :)

      The sizing seems to jump around.
      I definitely need to go by measurements not number sizing.
      Thank you!

    Exactly what inder-ific said! 1979 was only yesterday!
    I'm intrigued by what your girls are choosing. It's nice to see them picking interesting styles and I'm sure it'll look great on.
