1960s Bonus Project | Butterick 9776
It's about 6 months after I completed the 1960s Sewing through the Decades project, but finally the weather has turned appropriate for this project!
And I think this project turned out pretty cute too, despite a few bodice fit issues. I did make a mockup for this...but it was 6 months ago, and I didn't note any bodice alterations. So I guess I really should have made a second mockup...
This fabric and pattern were some of my first purchases for the Sewing through the Decades series, so my expectations for this project have been building for a long time.
And other than the bodice issue, this pattern didn't disappoint. I think the finished result is adorable and I would LOVE to follow this pattern again out of a fun print and contrasting binding! I'm already working on my shopping list for when I go to PA next month.

I luuuurve that fabric. Does it iron well?
Angela, that ensemble is wonderful on you! Don't you dare not re-make the bodice--you have the extra fabric and can salvage the zipper--even if it's 1" too big, that bodice looks adorable on you. Please re-do it so you can add the outfit to your wardrobe! Side note: I am completely amazed how you always have zippers that color match your fabric.
Wow. I had no idea it wasn't a dress until you showed the pattern (I should have known, because you'd told us what that decades bonus was a bunch of times) Totally thought it was a dress with a belt. It's pretty perfect, you get the look of a dress without thigh friction! (I doubt you have that issue, but you know what I mean. LOL)
Very cute project. I love the culotte skirt. Very feminine and practical which is goals for me. I like practical and sensible(?) clothes, but I want them to be pretty.
Cute outfit!
Angela in the evening: This is so cute! I love it! Angela the next morning: This is completely unwearable for me at the moment. ;))) Great job on this ensemble! It is really adorable in this fabric, super sweet and summery. Your speed and confidence making these are really inspiring, as well as your dedication to your vision of what feels and looks right according to your standards. And also very impressed that you managed to put out two videos in a couple days after your 1990s plans fell through. Amazing!!!!
Hello, bonjour Angela. Thank you for this great video. J’aime beaucoup cette tenue 👌🏻 Merci .
