The GDR Dress

This sewing- issue named PRAMO

is coming from the German Democratic Republic

from 1967!



I found in love with this dress and I must sew it!





Only too pieces :
one front and one back piece

but not so many instructions :-)

        and not very distinctives pattern!!! :-(






                              

                                  







But it wasn't too difficult to put the 2 pieces together :-)

I bought a heavy satin cotton fabric in an old rose color for a long time.
Perfect for this dress from the sixties.

I cut a front and back facing with the same fabric.
Neckline and armhole fit very good.

I used an unvisible zipper.







I made only one modification:

I must sew 2 darts at the back because it was too wide!
Ok, I have a hollow back that's why I must reduce the volume of the babric at the back.

The sixties necklines are often starting very high.
It looks very pretty but it's not so much confortable :-(

We are no longer accustomed with these necklines.

           




I 'm not yet tanned ...
but I'm on holiday next week :-)



but I already love it!!!
