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.

Pattern size:

This pattern is in european sizes 34-42.

Avaliability:

This is a vintage pattern.

Pattern type:

Dresses.

Rating:

I can highly recommend this pattern!

Pattern Description:

Pattern number 1537 is for two dresses, one with kimono sleeves, and one with shoulder straps. Both dresses have buttons down the front and half circle skirt. View A has got pockets, view B has bodice with darts. I have made both dresses.

 View B of the dress

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.

View A. 

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!
