I tried my first Vintage Vogue pattern (and I love it!) ...P.S. it's a 1940s Dress V8811

I promised you some 1940s sewing this year and here we are! While I've made lots of vintage reprint sewing patterns here at Retro Claude, I've never made one from Vogue.

Are they any better because it's Vogue? Let's find out.

I wanted an everyday 1940s vintage dress that didn't feel too costumey.

This patterned came highly recommended by Miss M Vintage on Instagram (a fellow vintage knitter and sewist):   / miss_m_vintage
