(above right) Butterick 1961
   

A delightful 50s dress - dropped waist,
faux rear petticoat peak, a la Polonaise.

Reconstructed from an old distressed Simplicity pattern cover,
sent by Shelley

 

 

 

 

 

Elaine:

"This is from the Spring of 1959 Butterick pattern catalog,
where it says on the cover, 'Anew rise of Femininity.'"

 

 

 

 

 

Tina F.:

"Small but terrific Flickr stream...not a lot of pettis, but great clothes...too bad her images are so small, though."

This Era pattern appears to display 'stacked' pettis! 

WONDERFUL idea!
