| The dress I was copying |
From this pattern I used the sailor style collar.
I used the bodice of this one...since it crossed in front I was able to make modifications, This way it gave me the double breasted look I wanted!

Classic Vintage Sailor Dress...
Ever since we have been on our new venture to make clothing that is classic and beautiful, I have been looking for a vintage pattern to make a sailor dress. I have always loved them, and done the right way I knew this could be a hit! After endlessly searching, I found a pattern for the style I wanted. Unfortunately that pattern was not for sale anywhere! Finally I decided it was time to make up a pattern. I found three patterns that I already had that were to make up this dress...
From this pattern I used the sailor style collar.
I used the bodice of this one...since it crossed in front I was able to make modifications, This way it gave me the double breasted look I wanted!
I took the sleeves and skirt from this pattern...
As you see, a little creativity, some adjustments and details made this dress have the look I wanted! O and did I mention...Those buttons unbutton and the whole front of the dress opens up to make it easy to get on and off your little one!
