Vogue 1970

Marcy's new Fall pattern, Vogue 1970 features a semi-fitted jacket and vest with princess seaming details in 2 lengths and 2 collar variations.The jacket is longer by one inch than the vest and has a stand-up collar with tuck at the back neck, while the vest features a smaller stand-up collar with a turned under and stitched edge as a design detail. Both jacket and vest feature in-seam pockets. The jacket is an inch longer than the vest, note that it is easy to add length to either garment at the hem. The jacket features a faced sleeve hem with a vent, and I used a contrasting fabric here. The princess seams feature a horizontal seam and tuck. Lightly fitted in the bust with a shaped flare at the hem, both garments are designed to be worn over a light t-shirt or top. This pair can be worn together or separately and will work in a range of fabrics across the seasons. Read more on the blog.

For the pattern envelope I used a Japanese cotton in a quilting weight for the jacket, and linen for the vest. Other suggested fabrics are jacquard, brocade, denim, mid weight silks, suiting weight wool, stable knits, corduroy or velveteen. See the over 170 fabrics right for these garments in our Vogue 1970 Collection.

In developing V1970, my first prototype used our Trees Stretch Cotton panel digital print in a mid weight stretch cotton. Love it on its own or layered under the black corduroy jacket!
