My Favorite Vintage Pattern of the Day


My Idea of the "Little Black Dress" but this time in RED!


I love this dress. I'm so surprised someone hasn't already snatched it up! Here's the details:
Lightly fitted and flared three section dress has high cut armholes, French darts at front, vertical back darts and zipper. Neck and armholes are faced except neck V. Lower neckline, armholes and lower edge of dress may be trimmed with two rows of middy braid or tab may be tacked to front under buttons and neck bound with bias self-fabric. Higher neckline may be collarless or have contrast two-piece collar, or rolled bias contrast collar and optional ccntrast tie belt. Dress lining is optional for all views.Maker & Pattern # Mccalls 8678 Copyright Date: 1867 Cost of Original Pattern: $ .75Size of Pattern: 14Bust: 34Waist: 26Hip: 36Pattern Envelope: discolored due to age, some rough cornersPattern Instructions:included Pattern Pieces: domplete
