To cut down the width in the shoulders is a major, major hassle, involving taking out sleeves, removing zipper, recreating collar, etc. Yuck! It's not like taking a a little at the waist or shortening sleeves. I'd rather just make it again in a size that will work.<BR/><BR/>For vintage sizing questions, it is imperative to know your measurements and check them against the pattern's measurement chart. Vintage sizing changed from the 30s to the 50s and after. I ALWAYS go by bust, waist, and hips. That being said, a modern size 10 might be a size 14 in 50s fashions. Maybe :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747223126169684757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-44131887824799509782008-04-04T13:13:00.000-05:002008-04-04T13:13:00.000-05:00Lovely, absolutely lovely.

You are such an accomplished seamstress. Surely you could rescue this dress that you are so fond of. <BR/><BR/>A quick answer to the question about pattern sizing..a lady wearing a size 10 today would need perhaps a vintage size 18. Maybe larger. Anna knows best on this , I'm sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-66764567815601863852008-04-04T11:58:00.000-05:002008-04-04T11:58:00.000-05:00The buckle is gorgeous.
