As you may have read, I have the honour of making my niece her graduation dress. I'm behind schedule, when I had to postpone our planned fabric shopping trip. Yes, YIKES! And now we're trying to re-cordinate our schedules to make it work for a rescheduled trip. Well, at least we can cross off pattern selection and muslin off our list. But I digress...
This is suppose to be a give-away post!
It seems like everyone is talking about Mad Men prom dresses this year. I guess all the retro inspired television programs has caught on for prom selection. And the pattern give-away too.
Sew, if you are planning on sewing a prom/grad dress or you're totally into the vintage Mad Men vibe and plan on participating in Julia Bobbin's Mad Men Dress Challenge, feel free to leave a comment on which pattern you are interested in. I will draw for your choice of one of the three patterns shown here. I just ask that you do not sell them, that you give the pattern a good home and enjoy it. I will ship anywhere. And I will draw for a winner on next Saturday, March 3rd.
Good luck and here are your choices:
 |
| Retro Butterick 6582, semi-fitted dress with straight or flared skirt. Plus a vintage pair of nylon stockings, unopened. |
 |
| Retro Butterick 5603, Fitted dresses with flared skirt. Plus black velvet trim. |
 |
| McCall's 6466, Close fitting, boned bodice variations and choice of straight, bubbled, or full skirt. Plus teal blue ribbon. |
I love Butterick 5603; the second one. Looks like it's got an empire line which I find looks good on me and I love the skirt on it!
ReplyDeleteHi there - I love the first one, Butterick 6582 - the neckline detail is really lovely. Thanks for the lovely giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteHi I love 6582 : the first one. I just lurve that front cross over - I see myself in this for my graduation (I'll be 51 then!) but it wont't be for another 18 months - can you wait that long?? Never too late to learn as 'they' say! Thanks - lovely blog.
ReplyDeleteOh, those are all lovely patterns! I'd go for the third one, the McCalls. (But that's just because I already have the other two. I do love those reproduction Butterick ones! I've made up that top one, and seen a few other variations around the blogging world - it comes up really nicely.) I've never done a bubble skirt before - I'm very curious to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting together such a lovely giveaway. :-)
Wow...beautiful patterns...I love Butterwick 6582. Beautiful shoulder details
ReplyDeleteWow the first two ones are gorgeous! Hard to decide which one is nicer. I think I like 6582 just a tiny bit more.

Ooh, they are all lovely! I think I would pick Retro Butterick 5603... Wonder if I can draft a pencil skirt variation??
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing giveaway! I think I'd Butterick 6582, myself. I really like that top twist action. :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the Butterick 5603. Would love to make this one up.
