I wore my new 1940's dress today. It's wool jersey and made following the Vintage Vogue 8728 pattern. Since it was a knit, I left out the fastening at the side, which made this a really fast project. I cut it out during the Super Bowl and hemmed it the following Thursday. I added thread loops for a belt on Friday since it looks like a sack without a belt. With a belt I think it's reasonably cute. The whole project took six days.
As usual I shortened it by 0.75" between the armscye and the waist seam. I cut a straight 12, but I probably should have cut a 10. Either the finished garment measurements on the tissue are wrong or I can't measure myself. I wouldn't be surprised at either one!
