Dress sewing patterns from the 60's and 70's.
I loved making my clothes but sadly no time these days.
I haven't obliterated much that much of the green blue, but I'm tolerating it more. Perhaps it will live on for a little longer before meeting with some gesso.
The dart on the back needs to be in the center, not so close to the edge. Usually I trace over these in Photoshop or something but this scan came out so weird I kinda liked it....
To many older generations of Leeds residents (Loiners) the name of Schofield's will be recalled as being that of probably the 'best; department store in the city. Formed in 1901 by Snowden Schofield as a drapers and millners the store grew to comprise of a number of units around the Victoria Arcade on what was to become The Headrow. In 1962 the company, still family run, reconstructed their premises as a modern store and they continued to operate until the 1980s. At that time the building was sold to a property company and developer and the store itself passed unto the ownership of the House of Fraser. In the 1990s the building was reconstructed to form the Schofield Centre, let out to other tenants, and the House of Fraser closed their branch here to concentrate on other outlets in Leeds city centre and so the store and name passed into history.
This sales brochure, issued by the Frock Department and Separate Small Size Department, is not dated but feels very post-WW2 and possibly from c1950. It shows a range of 'gay silk frocks' for summer and holiday times and samples of the shades and patterns available. The frock names conclude with the "Joan" - a severe yet extremely sophisticated dress, town-worthy and fun-worthy" at 63/- (£3 3/- in old money - £3.15p in new).
The brochure has a feel of a possible generic brochure that has been overprinted for Schofield's as was common practice. Some of the names and terms used to describe colours are very of their time and are not now considered suitable for use.
I found a dress pattern for iMda 3.0 (Angelregion/Dollsoom) (www.imda.pe.kr/english/imda_dresspattern/imda30/frame_dre...) since they're close to size and I was curious. Converted it to YoSD size. I left out the little leaves that go over the shoulders. Could use a few more tweaks. My version came out less puffy in the skirt but I connected the bottom section of the inside dress.

They say people never change. I've changed so much in the last sixteen years that I hardly ever glimpse who I once was. I'm very proud of the person who I've become.
