~♥~ Rockabilly Sexy Low Back & Featured Squared Neckline with Sectioned Gore Skirt ~♥~

A nice classy lady look with some "sexy" going-on! This beautiful dress pattern features an awesome squared neckline that extends "low" down the back to expose a little "sexy back"! And we will also go sleeveless to show off our sleek arms. With a nicely fitted bodice & a skirting that is sections, all eyes will be on YOU!

 

I like to mix fabrics in my designs, so I think making the dress a solid color with a lace overlay on either the outside skirt sections or inside skirt sections and overlay the lace on that pretty squared, sexy low back neckline!

Simplicity 2891..my 2nd top from this pattern & 3rd top made for my trip to Japan. I find it ironic that I will be wearing this outfit with fabric from Japan.

 

I made my normal broadback adjustment & enlarged the armhole. I originally had sleeves in it, but the fabric actually made it hot (as we have had hot weather lately - similar to Japan), so I decided to remove the sleeves.

The dress has a fitted bodice with lowered round neckline and a gathered full overskirt and underskirt. It has a back zipper clsoing. The lower edge of the overskirt is scalloped. The underskirt in view's 2 & 3 contrast the overskirt and bodice. View 1 & 2 have short, set-in sleeves. view 3 is sleeveless. Tie belt is featured for view's 2 & 3.

'Simplicity'

Shortly after the War Holland Birkett, of the 750 Motor Club, proposed a

low cost racing format based on road equipped Austin Sevens. Jack

French took up the challenge and over a period of five weeks of evenings and weekends Simplicity was built.

The car was built from readily available parts: short chassis, 3 piece rear axle and mildly tuned engine. To obtain greater overall performance the chassis was considerably lightened by drilling in excess of 250 holes ranging in size from 1/4" to 3/4". Boxing of the chassis was achieved by

lattice bracing. Also drilled were the front axle, rear axle tubes, brake

and clutch pedals and handbrake. With the addition of a very light body

the chassis and body weight was 89 lbs. Flattened springs were employed both to the front and rear. The original front axle was an IFS

Unit, but this not being approved by the VSCC it was replaced at a later

date.

The first race meeting was at Ibsley on April 18th 1953 when Steady

Barker won in Simplicity. Over the rest of the season it was driven by

nine different drivers and gained two firsts and two seconds - 7 of the

drivers having no previous experience of racing. Not just built as a track

car, Simplicity would arrive at every event under its own steam, carrying

all the tools and spares that it might need.

6 years later, Simplicity was still able to prove its competitiveness when

in 1959, Jack French set a Vintage Class record at the VSCC Prescott Hill

Climb of 51.95 seconds, a record which stood until 1966.

Very few changes have been made to the original concept of the car and

it is still predominantly as it was built by Jack.

Owners of Simplicity following Jack French being Martin Eyre, Barry

Clark and current owner, Graham Beckett since 2014.

Simplicity is being used in sprints and hill climbs with the VSCC and in

the Bert Hadley Championship with the Pre War Austin Seven Club and

has performed in the Centenary Hillclimb at Prescott prior to being put on display here.

Project Details

 

Pattern: Simplicity 3631, View B

Fabric: Faux Suede

Notions: Three Dritz Half Ball Cover Buttons (1 1/2"); lining fabric for seam binding; 4" chain

 

Description: Jacket has oversized covered button fastenings, cropped cape-like raglan sleeves, and belt.

  

 

I cut jacket in a size 16, using a faux suede. This pattern is very easy, even a beginner could have smooth sewing on this. I didn't like the reversed pleats that the instructions suggested, so I made the pleats the "normal" way and topstitched them on the right side. I'm so accustomed to lining my jackets and since a lining was not required for this one, I used a Hong Kong finish for the seams. I found lining fabric in a similar color to the fashion fabric and cut 1" strips on the bias. I sewed these to my seam allowances by stitching 1/4" from the edge, trimmed to a scant 1/8", folded the bias strip over and ditch stitched on the right side. I also decided to go with bound buttonholes. I ran across a fantastic tutorial on the Sew-4-Fun blog... one of the easiest I've seen. I'll be using it for welt pockets also. And for a finishing touch, I added a hang chain to the back. I sewed this in right underneath the back facing. While snoop shopping, I noticed these were prevalent on high-end RTW jackets.

 

Overall, I'm very pleased with the outcome of this jacket. I feel that I took a simple pattern and transformed it into a designer looking garment.
