Pattern Tour, SE30-3891 the 1930 Dress, Slip, Coat & Hat

15-piece pattern for the dress with optional slip, open coat and Newport-style hat.   The coat (3-piece pattern) may be ordered as a separate.  The dress skirt may be accordion-pleated and comes with flounced slip (8-piece pattern) sold as a set aside from the entire ensemble. I designed this pattern based on the color rendering originally sketched by a pattern company artist at a runway show in 1930.  The caption written on the original reads: 'Seen at the fashion show.  Coarse black net.  Black taffeta bands.' NOTE: The dress, slip and coat are very close fitting at the hip (1" ease).  As I recommend with all of my patterns,...

The Latest EvaDress Pick for $25 off at EvaDress.com

@freshprincessofblair was selected as an 'EvaDress Pick' for $25 off at EvaDress for posting her dress from pattern D30-7525, the 1933 Frock by McCall on InstaGram! I am really struck by the VERY unique look she gave this frock by using the true Scottish plaid and contrasting it with the black velveteen.
