Some follow-up from prior posts. Thank you so much for your responses to my poll on a tale of two dresses. The lead choice is the New Look in the black and white.
After posting the poll I pondered which I would prefer. I kept going back to the New Look. I clearly saw it in the navy and white polka dots with a red belt. I also realized that I wouldn’t want to use the geometric print for the Cambie. So I cut out the black and white geometric print for the New Look Version C. I’m super excited!
In other follow-up news. I have sent off the Pattern Pyramid package to Sue in Australia…back to Australia since they were sent to me from there!
I kept the Simplicity 4379. I did a little research. Looks like it is from 1953. I will have to grade up from 34 bust to about 38. Looking forward to the process and learning the skill that could open up a world of vintage patterns!
Thank you for all your comments on the potential dresses. I loved checking out the other Cambie versions. Hope you see a finished dress from me in a week or so.

I really like the New Look pattern. Is it old or did you pick it up recently? I’m just trying to figure out if I would be able to get it when I drive out to the fabric store…
I picked it up last year, I think.
You should be able to find it on the Simplicity website.
okay thanks…I’ll try. But as great as the Simplicity customer service is, the shipping to Canada has been outsourced and is so expensive. I’ll see if it is still in the shops here….
Oh, good choices! I love the neckline on the pattern pyramid choice!
Thanks! Looking forward to more dresses!
It’ll be great to see your process on grading up! I have a few vintage patterns at 34 and 32 that I need to grade to about a 36 so I’ll be following your progress closely! ^__^
