#0019 – The Queen’s Picnic
Based on Advance 4568 from 1948.
Picnic was a difficult one to tackle, because it’s so much more fantasy than rooted in any kind of midcentury fashion. I actually started this with another pattern as a base, but I wasn’t happy with it. Thankfully while digging around, I came across this Advance pattern from 1948, which had this voluminous sleeves, a drop waist, off-the-shoulder bodice and a full skirt – it had enough elements I felt like it would work! I’m so glad I started over because this is one of my favs of the project.
