| Retro Butterick 5920 |
The new Butterick patterns are out! I love the neckline on the one lonely little
vintage reproduction in this bunch, and funny enough, I was wearing one of my favorite summer frocks yesterday which is sort of similar if you squint. The idea of a sheer overlay is rather
brilliant!

While it is somewhat disappointing that there is only one
new retro design, my wallet and my project list thanks the McCall Company.
There are a couple of other patterns that have caught my eye,
but I do not believe I will be rushing out to purchase them.

This dress looks like it could be absolutely adorable, or it
could look very 1980s (which is not necessarily a bad thing, but generally a
look I would rather avoid).

I am very intrigued by this next design, but cannot tell if the unfortunate fabric choice is making the drape/pleating/whatever is going
on with that skirt look odd, or if it is just strange. What do you think?

The sketch looks interesting, so I think this
is one of those "open the envelope and look at the pattern instructions before
purchasing" designs. Am I the only person who does this surreptitiously at the pattern cabinets? I do love those
double-v necklines and the color turquoise, so that could explain why I want to like the dress.

Peplums are fabulous, in my opinion, but I really do not see anything
spectacular about this particular design.

And this pattern looks an awful lot like a contemporary version
of this vintage reproduction, right down to the detachable dicky.

Oh how I wish the 1939 Butterick catalog was available! Where are all of the tucks and gathers and curved and pointed seamlines?! Give me something complicated that I can sink my teeth into!
Do you have any new favorites?
I actually thought of you when I saw this pattern! Of course, we were just talking about vintage necklines, but still, I didn't have to squint to see this neckline in the dress you were wearing!
ReplyDeleteI tend to do my research before going to the pattern drawers, so I usually know what I want and don't do the surreptitious thing....usually....(I'm not above it lol!)
ooh, thanks for alerting us to the new Buttericks! I don't need any new patterns either, but I always get excited to see the new ones. There's nothing I have to have in this batch though - I like 5921 (the Maggy London work dress), but maybe not enough to buy it.
ReplyDeleteMost of these appeal to me quite a bit - 5919 being my very favourite for the summery mood I'm in these days.

I reckon you could design your own by now....
ReplyDeleteWhen I looked at B5920 I had to have it. They reworked the fabric with the lace overlay and it is brilliant. I love this dress, I managed to scoop it up at a Joann's sale of 5/$5.00. It came home that day. I have been searching for the lace I want to use, and of course it must be royal purple. If I cannot find what I want I will do a royal blue, but I have my heart set on purple.
