Sometimes the fabric decides the dress. I saw a quilting cotton at Fabricville.com, called Mallowway Green Diamonds.\u00a0<\/a> It reminded me of the 30s for some reason… I couldn’t figure out why I kept thinking of Agatha Christie when I looked at it! Eventually I googled Agatha Christie to see if there was something I’d forgotten… well… her name was<\/i> Lady Mallowan! Too funny how the subconscious mind knows things before you are actually aware of them.<\/p>\n

I decided that Very Easy Vogue 9147<\/a> would be a great silhouette for the 30s impression I was getting from the fabric. I made View B, with the contrast collar — I knew I had to highlight the most important part of this design! I chose a black linen<\/a>, and it was wonderful to work with. It’s a gorgeous, smooth linen with a really soft body to it. I love it!<\/p>\n

But I did add the sleeves from View A, though I made them only elbow length. I prefer sleeves for myself, so it’s nice when a dress can be made either way. This easy dress is also lined, which gives a nice finish at the neckline. I ended up choosing a basic polyester lining<\/a>, but I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to cut (it wasn’t sliding all around) and by the width – it is a 150 cm.\/60″ wide lining, which I am not accustomed to. It is silky to the touch, and also has a non-static finish.<\/p>\n

Here’s my best 30’s sleuth impression:<\/p>\n

The pattern is a Very Easy Vogue, and it is<\/em> fairly easy. I think it’s notable that I did not shorten this pattern at all, not in the shoulder-to-bust area (which is a common change for me) nor in the length of the dress, although I am only 5’2, so if you are taller than me, be sure to measure this pattern carefully before cutting into your good fabric.<\/p>\n

The pattern does have some gentle shaping, so it’s not just a loose sack on the body. The pockets are stitched on, then sewn into the side seams during construction. I was worried that this might broaden my broadest part, but since the contrast pocket is such a massive feature, I just went with it. I’m glad I did — I really like it.<\/p>\n

The easy part comes from the fact that there are no closures to worry about here – or only one tiny one. The back has a keyhole opening at the neck, so you only need to sew on a hook & eye or a button & loop.<\/p>\n

It’s a fun dress, and the crispness of this quilting cotton worked with the simple lines. With some of the scraps left over, I made a small Suffolk Puff, adding a button in the centre, to use as a pin or hat decoration. I quite liked it with my early 30s style cloche and shoes…what do you think?<\/p>\n
