The puzzle below, posted on our Facebook Page on Saturday, is of the very full circle skirt and the front and back bodice.

Pattern Puzzle - Homage to Charles James
Once again that fabulous designer from the 1950's, Charles James, is the subject of the #PatternPuzzle. I believe the dresses photographed below are of the same design and at first the differences were a little confusing. In the end I decided they were in fact two different versions of the same design as the proportions in the garments vary a great deal. Perhaps the same design made for two different clients. My sketch and pattern are a reasonable facsimile of this design.

Such a gorgeous design, and a fun pattern puzzle!
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie. Do you think you would give it a try? :)
DeleteThis is really neat. I want to try making the Charles James 1954 evening gown (the green one that folds over on itself in the front). Do you think you could help me figure it out?
ReplyDeleteThx Kait. :) Your blog is amazing! I love the dresses you make. I'm not sure which Charles James you mean. If you able to send a link or image I'll let you know. enquiries@studiofaro.com
