Ending 2019 in My Jazz Era Vintage Dress

Hi Guys! It’s almost time!! Only hours stand between us and a new decade! Sounds crazy, right? I found it to be most fitting that I would be blogging about my Jazz Era Dress for my last blog post of 2019!! Why might you ask? Well, because I was featured in a MAGAZINE!!!!

Back in late July, Ann from Designer Stitch , made a tester call for the Jazz Era Dress that would be included in the Vintage Made Magazine December edition. I jumped at the opportunity. Vintage Made Magazine is an Australian publication which features People and Fashion; Lifestyle and Entertainment; Craft; Food; Technology; Columns. The magazine also includes the full size Jazz Era Dress pattern and very detailed instructions. If you don’t recall, I was previously featured in Vintage Made Magazine in my Rocka Billy Dress. That was my very 1st magazine publication.

Based on my body measurements I made a size 4 with a B cup and graded at the waist to a size 7 and the fit was perfect. The dress features a cami style bodice and is loose fitting through out the bodice and waist. The pattern also has a 3 layered skirt. I made my dress using a red poly satin fabric for the bodice and I used a similar shade of red chiffon for the skirt portion. I decided to be a little risky and not add a lining to the skirt portion, but you can feel free to add it. I didn’t see it necessary. I thought the 3 layers of fabric were suffice.

I love everything about my Jazz Era Dress. It is so classic and I think the accessories I purchased were perfect! I found this 1920s flapper accessory set from Amazon that came with everything I needed and then some! I received everything you see me wearing except the dress and shoes.

Make sure you head on over to Vintage Made Magazine and order your copy of the December issue to receive the Jazz Era Dress pattern which is included. There is also a digital version of the magazine available to view on your mobile devices.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank every single last one of you who has taken the time to read my blog and comment. I started this blog with the intention of having a way to journal my sewing journey. It’s been 3 years now and I’m so happy I started this blog and that you all like it. Thank you for coming along with me and I know that this is just the beginning. I can’t wait to see what 2020 has in store!

Til 2020! Love you ALL,

Johanna
