MARKETING EXEC (flips paper in portfolio): People like aprons. Do we have a dress that looks like an apron?" NEW EMPLOYEE (showing off recent fashion school diploma): I'm sure we did. But instead of looking through the archive of patterns sent to us, why not just repattern the back of the most popular apron? MARKETING EXEC (smiling): Perfect, we'll call it a Retro Pattern, it will sell like hotcakes and people will make it on social media! ARCHIVIST: Wait, I think I remember someone sending in a pattern that looked like an apron. CEO: Who cares? That will take too long, time is money. You NEW PERSON--go draft up the back to an apron. Archive, find the pattern and give it to the graphic designer, have them make the new pattern look like the retro pattern but I want to see RETRO in big letters. ALL: Very good! Meeting adjourned.

Sewing is my profession. I also have been a sewing educator. This video makes me crazy. I don't know the vintage or reproduction patterns you used, so cannot comment on the quality of either, but your frustration with the sewing part can be corrected in a couple of ways. First, put the bed back on your sewing machine when doing regular sewing. The free arm in used only when sewing in a tight spot. The bed make sewing easier. Second, when sewing bulky pieces together (ie. bodice to skirt) have the bulk on the left side of the needle - it is easer to control the sewing. Third, 90% of the time, commercial sewing pattern need adjustment. That is a given and time and materials for a trial (old sheets are great for this) should be considered when starting a new project. Commercial patterns are made with an average set of measurements for a younger, perkier body shape. Gravity, age, child birth and general body tone, as well as type of undergarments you wear, all have an effect on our bodies that the pattern companies cannot account for. You must do this yourself. Mock ups of the pattern help, as well as experiences with each pattern company. It can be frustrating to sew because of this, but as with all things, keep practicing. It gets easier the more times you do it.

I have the repro pattern. Haven't made it. Haven't made the vintage one either. That said, the gaping under the arms is my biggest beef about both versions that I've seen made online. I would have to wear something under it to avoid my bra showing. So I always thought I would need to address that in a mockup. And then I never have liked the shoulders. It's not wide enough to be a cap sleeve, but it's too wide to be a normal sleeveless dress pattern. So that's the second thing I'd want to fix in a mockup. And I think the darts would have to move - I have a full bust and smaller underbust, and I always need to fix stuff for that reason. I do love seeing all the variations lately thanks to your challenge. I'm going on a cruise in January and maybe I'll see if I can get something worth wearing (with correct undergarments) because I do love the shape on the envelope.

I got the reproduction to work on my plus size frame, but that's because on anything like this I will always make a muslin of the bodice area first. The concept of following the ink on anything these days is preposterous, but that's just me. Amusing video as always, thanks. 😊

For those of us with physiques that aren't as angular and structured as we used to be, the Walkaway dress is usually not a good choice. An unstructured garment looks best on a well defined form. Those of us with softer, curving shapes to our bodies, look better in more structured garments.

I'm 4' 11' made the repro dress and I love it. It looks amazing on me.

Like others in the comments, I bought the reproduction version of this pattern years ago, lured in by the gamine cuteness of the cover art, which made it look like something out of Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn. (Also, hey, blame the $1 pattern sales at Joann's and my poor impulse control.) Luckily for me, I saw finished examples of the dress posted to the Pattern Review website before I committed to making it, and... Oof. It looked nothing like the cover art and would have been an absolute waste of fabric and time for something that had the style and silhouette of a garbage bag with neck and armholes, but made out of some of the most questionable quilting fabric choices ever. This is one pattern where we all loved the idea and the click bait art more than the reality of the style.

I feel your pain. I'm making one and added a closed skirt on the bottom to keep it from coming apart and riding up

I have just made the retro Butterick 6211 after an original from 1953. I have the variant from sizes 14 to 22. If you look at the drawing, the sleeves should just reach over your shoulder, but according to me there are only a few women , even if they make the largest size that has a shoulder width of 60cm. I have relatively broad, straight shoulders, but I don't get any further than 45cm. Not only did I have to make up that difference, but I ended up having to adjust the pattern so that I went from size 18 to 14 and back to 18 to get it to fit. Oh yes, and I had to make the darts even bigger on the side, and take about 2cm from the shoulders, otherwise it would still be way too big. Long live the mannequin to your size. I don't know what Butterick did with this pattern, I don't know the original, but I'm curious. With the adjustments my dress looks like the pictures and fits well. The original pattern, which looks a lot like the walk away dress, is not very original anymore. Oh, yes indeed. The length was perfect for me, with my 1.62 meters.
