VINTAGE vs. REPRODUCTION, 1940's Overalls pattern || Comparing Simplicity 3322 vs Simplicity 8447

The next in the series of Vintage vs. Reproduction, is a highly requested vintage pattern, Simplicity 3322, a pair of 1940's hooded overalls. I will be comparing a 1940's Simplicity vintage pattern to its modern reproduction by the same company. I have been a vintage pattern seller for 10 years and have always been asked, why I don't like the reproduction patterns. I knew they used block patterns to adjust the vintage patterns. I knew they looked at only the front covers and guessed on the rest, but now I want to put them to the test.

In today’s video, I will be comparing Simplicity 3322, the original 1940's Rosie the Riveter style overalls with a hooded blouse, against Simplicity 8447, the reproduction 1940's vintage pattern. This sewing pattern review will help you make the reproduction sewing pattern if you want to make it look more original to the vintage.

Will this be another vintage reproduction pattern rant?

I am doing this series so that everyone can see which vintage reproduction patterns are worth your time and money, and which belong in the dumpster.

Patterns used:
Simplicity 3322, size 12, bust 30"
Simplicity 8447, size 6, bust 30.5"
