1950's Gingham Blouse


Here's Simplicity 4238 from the 1950's made up in navy gingham.  
The pattern has some lovely details: tucks at the front and back plus two neck darts.  It’s also naturally longer than a lot of 1950’s patterns, which often tend to be on the short side. 
Apart from attaching the collar (which stretched my mental powers somewhat) it was a nice, easy pattern. I’ll almost certainly use it again to make a second version.

I do feel a bit like Ellie May Clampett from the Beverley Hillbillies in it but that’s no bad thing!  More pics and details on my blog Handmade Jane.  Thanks for reading. x
