new project, old pattern


My mother bought this pattern for me over the weekend, and now it is at the top of my To Do list. This is Simplicity 1799, from 1956, a "teen age one-piece dress with detachable collar and sleeve trim". This is such a lovely pattern, and somehow, it being for a teenager originally makes it even better. I love the details--an extra collar to put over the self collar, the bow on the red view, and so much more.

I'll be making a test version of this one, mainly because of all the darts at the waist. I want this to fit, and I want to be able to breathe in it!
