1940's Slip

[atherleisure]

It's very definitely not exciting, but I made a 1940's slip. Ginger loaned me the pattern a few years ago, and I finally got around to using the copy I made of it. (No, I haven't had her pattern this whole time.) It's silk charmeuse and bound with silk ribbon on the top. I misread something somewhere along the line so I only bought two yards of 36" fabric. I'm short (well, at least definitely not tall) so I was able to shorten it by a couple of inches so I didn't have a ton of piecing to do, but there was some. I also used ribbon for the straps instead of the fabric since I was going to bind the top with ribbon instead of seam binding.

Lousy picture, but it proves it exists.

Oh yea, that's super pretty! Now I'm curious how tall you are:)

[atherleisure]

Thanks. I'm 5'4" so definitely not tall and just a couple of inches below average for American women.

That looks good! I'm glad you made it work without too much trouble.

Thanks, and thanks for letting me borrow the pattern. I have fabric for the dress pattern you loaned me but just haven't gotten excited about making it yet.

It looks so sweet! I hope it proves to be comfortable and well-suited for your intentions!
