Introduction
Here are some ideas for my next patternmaking and sewing project. I will use the 1930s inspired sloper I just finished.
Complete outfit
Blouse made with white crepe or dull, silky fabric in white.
Bias cut bow in pale pink.
Skirt in mid-weight fabric like gabardine or linen-like wrinkle free fabric.
Accessories: The bow and pearl earrings.
The Blouse
Blouse has waistline yoke. This is not a peplum. It is a feature that was common in blouses of the 1930s through 1940s. The lower portion is tucked into the blouse. The yoke creates a smooth look under the skirt.
All dart intake and style ease will be gathered into the waist of the yoke.
Flat Peter Pan Collar of Peter Pan Collar with a slight stand.
Bow is bias cut and goes under the collar. Tied into a bow at center front.
1/2″ buttons. Maybe mother of pearl. Depends on the fabric.
Slightly puffed Bishops Sleeves at cuff. 1″ cuffs. Use the fitted sleeve with vertical dart as the basis.
Yoke length from waist to a point between abdomen and hip.
The Skirt
Skirt length: 28-30″ from waist
Hem to be finished with 2″ wide hem lace.
8″ zipper at center back.
Underline yoke of skirt so that a hidden zipper can be sewn by hand at center back.
Flounce is cut in the bias at center front and back.
Skirt yoke is placed on top of flounce and top stitched into place.
