fashion illustrated – Sevin-Doering pattern puzzle 2
After my first attempt at mentally assembling the Sevin-Doering pattern last week, and seeing Kathleen’s take on it and the commenters, I wanted to try again, only this time I went as far as cutting a tiny pattern out of muslin and whipstitching it together. I started by connecting the seams that Kathleen marked.
Except that once I got to figuring out the CF and the part that Kathleen thinks is twisted I got all confused. And how to deal with that curved seam at the back of the skirt? So I flipped it front to back, turning it into a jacket rather than a dress. Then I fiddled around with the pieces at the bottom of the pattern, which seemed to want to become a cape, with an interlocking detail.
Kathleen says she doesn’t have a picture of the actual garment that this pattern makes. I hope someone finds one – I am really curious about how close I am.

lol, isn’t this fun? Let me see if I can draw what I had in mind. Maybe you can clean up that sketch so it’s publicly presentable.
I also think it’s possible that there’s a twist at what I think is the cb waist meaning the two straight edges of the skirt are joined at cb but I can’t figure out how the side panels would then join to the body.
obsess much? haha jk
I love the drawing for this one. I would totally wear something like that, particularly in the quasi-winter.
