Copies Complete
Nov. 5th, 2021 12:53 pmI finished copying the patterns I borrowed and returned them this week.
At the one extreme, the two McCall's patterns had never been unfolded. At the other extreme, the 1950's pattern with the red dress (Simplicity 1726) was missing everything except for the skirt, the button placket, and the cummerbund. Simplicity 2738 had been cut but had all the pieces. Simplicity 3831 was missing the bodice and one of the skirt panels but had the bolero bodice. Simplicity 1353 was missing the belt and the left skirt front, both easy to sort out since the right skirt front was there. I don't remember exactly what was missing from Simplicity 3857, but I think one of the sets of sleeves was missing.
In some ways this was interesting because all of these belonged to the same woman. All these patterns must have appealed to her, and more than once the bodice had adjustments pinned into the pattern. She must have been a bit short-waisted too.
