I can't honestly say that I've had a lot of opportunities in my life to wear a dickey, but I do like a peter pan collar. (there's also a plain collar pattern too)

Free Vtg Pattern: Dickey & Peter Pan Collar
I scanned this cute dickey pattern and article from a 1940s sewing booklet and thought I'd share!

I remember dickies. They were very popular, although I don't think I ever wore one. You have a good start on summery sewing with that cute checked dress. School will be out soon, and maybe you'll find some time for yourself. Summer passes fast though.
ReplyDeleteI find dickies hilarious for some reason - I don't think I could wear one and not just laugh at myself the whole time. Also makes me think of Jude Law's character in the Talented Mr. Ripley... Hmmmmmmm... Something to giggle about and thoughts of Jude Law?! This dicky idea may be growing on me after all :D
ReplyDeleteDickies - wow. I can only think of Howard from The Big Bang Theory... :)
ReplyDeleteThis is wondeful. I would like to link to this in an upcoming piece - I am making a dickie! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIf you have a sweater or dress that is a little cold in the winter due to openness at the neckline, a dickey may be just what you need to make it more wearable. Dickeys can give style to a plain sweater or sweatshirt. And they can add variety to your wardrobe.
ReplyDeletelovely pattern! what do you think would be the best method to print it out at the right size?
ReplyDeleteI didn't see a pattern piece on the last page for the shirt front piece. Did I miss something?
ReplyDeleteOops! I see it now!. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHow do you enlarge the pattern?
ReplyDeleteTIA.
I think the possibilities are endless. Basically the top front and back of a shirt. Under a summer sweater or a low cut dress. You could make the garment go from day, with dickey, to night on the town, by removing it. Your dresses could have different collars on different days any in any color combos you wish. Yes, I am old enough to remember them and I have wornaments them under winter sweaters.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make this..can you tell me how to print this .. feel free to email me at kraftingbykaren@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
