More reformatting! Instead of going for the “Quick Share” on Fridays I thought I’d call it how it really is: “Link Love”. Links that I love - get it? Anyway today we have a guest post from the amazing Angie of Quality Time on Stephanie’s blog The Girl with the Star Spangled Heart.
*whew!* Got that all straight? Anyway, do hop on over an check out both these lovely ladies’ blogs if you haven’t already. Lots of vintage sewing goodness to be had!
In the mean time…
Make Many Dickeys...a Vintage Pattern
Hello Star Spangled Readers! My name is Angie and I blog over at Quality Time. I was so excited when the very sweet Stephanie asked me to guest post for her here on her blog….
…I've been poring over my recent purchases of vintage sewing and pattern magazines looking for the perfect thing to scan and share with you all here. My own blog is more miscellaneous sewing adventures than vintage clothing adventures, but I do like to combine the two when I can.
This pattern I'm sharing is from a dressmaking booklet from the 1940s. Some of the pages were missing, but luckily not this cute article about wearing a "dickey", or a "faux" shirt. (Basically, a dickey is a partial bodice but usually a full collar, to wear under sweaters, cardigans or other garments).
I hope you enjoy the article! …
xox,

Yes, dickey's were used so often in vintage dresses, and I've loved to see how they've come back into style under sweaters recently.
