  I missed National Pin Up Day (April 22, which was brought to my attention by an Instagram post by @its.goldie_frocks). So my National Pin Up Day contribution days later is this flashback to 2011 at the Raven Café Annual Halloween bash! I wore the 1936 Underpinnings (Bandeau & Panties) set with this garter belt for a through-the-ages pin-up ensemble, if you will. The result was the pass-off of a late-30’s look. I sewed 1" wide silk ribbon over the narrower elastic passing through the garter stays to give that vintage look! 4-piece pattern originally from German Beyer's Modenblatt, there...

Pattern Tour, B20-5760

Alexandra Reynolds 1920's blouse costume EvaDress Patterns Pattern Tour

Pattern Tour, B20-5760

  13-piece hand-drafted pattern originally by Butterick.  The embroidery motif for sleeve patch was not included with the original pattern I owned, so I created my own. You will have to, as well. I don't normally post Pattern Tours for single-size patterns, but this one is exceptional for the fact that my dear Grandmother graduated from high school at the time this design was popular 99 years ago! Just to stress that point, here is a photo of her in her high school basketball team in 1923! Were I showing this photo to you in person, I'd make you guess...
