#0013 – The Queen’s Speech

Based on Vogue Special Design S-4697 from the 1950s.

This pattern was originally a Vogue wedding dress but the large sleeves and little standing collar made it great for an inspiration for the cut Senate dress. Design elements like full sleeves, or standing collars, or trains or capelets were all things that when I came across them in a vintage pattern, I saved them to a “maybe” folder immediately because they weren’t always easy to find and things I desperately needed for Padme looks!
