Vintage Pattern: "Slim Silhouette" Blouse and Skirt, Sizes 12-20

model from the 1950s in knit outfit
It is made of two separate pieces: a top and bottom with an elasticized waist. However, with some skills I believe this could be made into a multi-sized dress pattern. I think one could change the top and taper it into the bottom or vice versa if the knitter has a dress in mind but needs a different fit (my eventual goal ;) ). The gauge is 18x20 with needles needed to obtain it. It is made of ribbon, which is certainly unique, and provides detailed instructions on how to knit with such a foreign material. Note it is not made of a sport yarn (yay!) so for a change a vintage pattern might not take you eons to complete.

  1. Is that vintage photo or just a bit old. It looks like Cindy Crowford or a very look alike. Weird.

    1. Hi, thanks for stopping by! This is an authentic vintage pattern. Yeah, it is always crazy to see old paintings/photos that look like modern people, haha.

  2. It’s not readable. When you pinch out it pixelates

  3. Size 20 with a 16-1/2 inch waist. I'm confused.
