Pattern Review: Vi Mode Mönster 1537

Vi Mode Mönster was a swedish pattern company. I am guessing that this pattern is from the 1970´s.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Yes.

Were the instructions easy to follow?

The instructions were quite clear, I didn´t really have any troubles with them.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I really like the construction of the skirt on this dress. It´s so unbelievably flow-y and nice! I also really like the kimono sleeves on view A, and the darts on view B.

Fabric Used:

For view A I used a madras cotton bought in Paris, for view B I used a thrifted tablecloth, a blend of cotton and linen.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

I didn´t make any changes to view A. For view B, I omitted the ruffled hem.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

I might just as well make this again, and if you get your hands on this pattern, be sure to snatch it up, because it has a great construction, and a thought- through design with lots of options!

Conclusion:

A pattern I love, and have used two times already, great instructions and perfectly constructed pattern!

    So pretty and summery, especially View B. I’m enjoying your pattern reviews!

    I echo the comments already left. The dresses both look great on you. The pattern looks so versatile, maybe an autumnal version is also needed??

    Oh, I *love* the shirtdress! I’ve always wanted a plaid one myself, and the little details on the sleeves and pockets are very pretty! The other version is very cute, too, I love the big buttons!

    These dresses really look like summer (which I am looking forward to!!!) The madras cotton looks perfect for view A – really gives it that retro look!

    These dresses are both wonderful.I would have to make the kimono sleeve version I think for myself.
