Patterns From The Past - McCall's 8153, A "Granny" Dress
I was thrilled when I found a big stack of vintage pattern booklets at a thrift store a while back - they are one of the things I search for, to see the fashions of the 1960's and 1970's.

For me, it's made even better with the choice of a sweet yellow calico fabric.

It may not have escaped your notice that these old-fashioned style dresses are my favorites, since I show similar styles to you quite often!
Hope you enjoyed this one.

Yes, I so love patterns from that time period too. The graphics also highlight the hairstyles and accessories.
ReplyDeleteI have 6 recent pattern acquisitions I need to scan in too - all from the 60s and 70s.
These are great!

Do you know the year of the pattern? I made a very similar dress in high school, we had a very short granny dress fad going on for a few months. Then I had a long dress for working at the Sierra Nevada House. I don't recall those ruffly sleeve endings though. Those would have definitely been in the way making ice cream creations! Great post.

ReplyDeleteSo fun to go back in time! Love the calico granny dresses!
