ReplyDeleteI think that the 40's and 50's were a great time for ladies fashions...there was a sense of pride in how women dressed...a lot of detail to the dresses as exhibited in the Vogue 2787 pattern...they weren't afraid to use darts and dart equivalents for shaping. Did your mother sew this dress for herself? It's beautiful...
