Edelweiss Patterns
Happy Easter!
My vintage Easter outfit for 2017 was made entirely from vintage Hollywood Patterns that were printed in the 1940s. This was a wonderful project to work on, but I especially had a blast making the ruffled, tiered sleeves. 
The blouse reminds me of one that Olivia de Havilland wore in the 1940s… Someday I may spruce up the sleeves even more by adding lace trim at the edge of each ruffle. If you look closely there is eyelet beading at the neckline that I wove peach satin ribbon through.
Blouse
Pattern: Hollywood Pattern #1875
Fabric: Ivory Eyelet from Fabric.com
Notions: Eyelet trim, peach satin double-faced ribbon, & three tiny gold & pearl buttons
Skirt:
Pattern: Hollywood Pattern #1830
Fabric: Coral cotton print by Moda Fabrics – “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” collection (I picked this up about 5 years ago)
Cinch Belt: I bought it on Amazon here.
Shoes: Poetic License
The Hollywood pattern for the skirt is sort of a 1940s version of the circle skirt – it is much narrower than its 1950s counterpart, but it has the same fitted waistband, narrow top, and flaring width towards the bottom edge.
The thing that sets this outfit apart from many other spring outfits I’ve sewn in the past is the fact that these are separates instead of a one-piece dress. So I’m looking forward to mixing and matching these two pieces with other items in my wardrobe this year!
