#vintage wedding gown
BurdaStyle April 2022
It’s spring and this issue has a wide range of patterns as these images prove. From casual wear to a vintage wedding gown to work wear, there is a little bit for everyone.
The the cheery blouse on the cover 110 A,B, has its bodice opening off-center to the wearer’s left, but the peplum below opens at the center. It is lengthened and given buttons to appear as the shirt dress 109 A B.
The dress you see here is the raglan-sleeved 115 which is shown loose, perfect for a hot day, but could take a belt as well if you prefer. They made it in viscose which has drape and gives it a more slender silhouette as it falls close to the body.
The wedding gown Dress 121 dates back to 1957. It is fully lined, has a long, gored, flared skirt, a fitted bodice with scalloped lace overlay and then the lace alone for the sleeves. They suggest silk satin which is a traditional choice.
Then there is Blazer 119 whose front overlap goes off-center to the same degree below as the line of the lapel does above. It has welt pockets and buttons at the waistline, and can take its own wide belt.
This issue offers up 10 dresses, 1 in plus sizes; 3 blouses that aren’t shortened versions of the dresses with 1 in plus sizes; the gown; 3 jackets, 1 in plus sizes; 1 pair of pants in regular sizes and 1 in plus sizes, and 1 skirt in regular sizes and 1 in plus size; lastly, a vest in plus sizes. So 23 patterns for women, and then 1 coat and 2 dresses for girls, plus one shortened to a blouse. There are some diy table setting projects, and instructions on how to make roses out of bias strips of fabric (my tip: they are best in diaphanous, ombre fabrics).
