The Vogue version is fabulous. I like the open back and I bet you could modify the Simplicity easily for the same look. I'm pretty sure I've seen other versions of this same dress in McCall's and Butterick on some of the vintage pattern sites. It must have been popular back in the day!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021958528271756631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809800447778175614.post-65953008883881619732014-01-21T20:56:22.903+10:002014-01-21T20:56:22.903+10:00I made a shift dress with similar shaping under th...I made a shift dress with similar shaping under the bust. It took a fair bit of fiddling to get right, especially as I needed to do an FBA but it looked lovely when done. A sew-along with fitting help would have been a great help, I imagine.

It can stay in my stash being expensive coz I love it! I made this using it and am about to cut out something else with the pattern too. http://tropicalthreads.wordpress.com/2013/06/30/simplicity-8640-as-folkwear-armistice-blouse/<br /><br />Tropicalthreadshttp://tropicalthreads.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809800447778175614.post-43846342923741554952014-01-20T19:53:40.233+10:002014-01-20T19:53:40.233+10:00I think that would be a very expensive one to buy....I think that would be a very expensive one to buy.
