For an unknown reason, flowers have been surprisingly absent of my sewing room over the past few months. So let\u2019s remedy this with a very 1950\u2019s-styled V9239 dress, with an all-over roses pattern<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

V9239 pattern review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unremarkable cover but immense vintage potential<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I have had the V9239 pattern<\/a> in my stash for ages but never got around to sewing it<\/strong>. This is not utterly surprising, given the very uninspiring picture presenting the pattern<\/strong>. A 1950\u2019s bodice with 1970\u2019s sleeves and a 1980\u2019s skirt, Vogue, seriously? The unmatched diversity of chosen fabrics for all the other options just adds insult to injury\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

However if you focus on option D<\/strong> and make your best effort to ignore the horrendous stripes, you end up with a perfect 1950\u2019s vintage silhouette<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An absolutely lovely pattern with many positives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you manage to look beyond this very bad first impression, there are actually many things to like about the V9239 pattern:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
