I would recommend making a muslin of the bra top portion, but from there it juts out in an a-line, so I wouldn't worry too much about the waist fit if it fits up top. Hope this helps!!A.J.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05989531542525210531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235151033520986002.post-24134973916665002812012-08-25T21:47:01.869-04:002012-08-25T21:47:01.869-04:00Hi!

My mom knows I love to sew and she found a copy of the pattern at an antique show for less than $1. Seeing your version makes me even more excited to make my own version. :)<br /><br />Just out of curiosity, since it is a vintage pattern, did you have to make any major alterations to get it to fit you? I think I'm going to have to do to fit me, especially in the waist measurement. No way do I have a 24" waist!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943184273170767326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235151033520986002.post-9308343203862659422011-05-09T22:35:04.158-04:002011-05-09T22:35:04.158-04:00@Miss P

To hem it, I just cut it to the length of the dress hem, added lace tape, and turned it up once. Seems to have worked out!A.J.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05989531542525210531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235151033520986002.post-65759957336951001922011-04-26T14:21:42.234-04:002011-04-26T14:21:42.234-04:00Your dress turned out beautifully, glad the lining...Your dress turned out beautifully, glad the lining went without any hitches!

I think it's a neat way to give an old garment a new life- in this case there was a lot of yardage to work with. And I know the dress you mean- it was pink right? I'll go back and look at it again. Oh, and thanks a ton for the hem tutorial you posted. I actually just grabbed one thread hemming both dresses, and they really came out pretty blind! :)A.J.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05989531542525210531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235151033520986002.post-28245801363476471542011-04-25T20:41:25.267-04:002011-04-25T20:41:25.267-04:00@charlotte

I also have the same pattern with the long collar, it was one of the first dresses I have ever made. I like it, it's on my blog.
