2012 EvaDress Pattern Contest Voting
The 2012 EvaDress Pattern Contest is posted and ready for votes!
Here are some words about voting, which is now open:
Only one vote per person per category will be counted toward final results. Vote for an entry by clicking in the range of stars at the bottom of the entry’s post.
See each category below to vote by clicking on the link to each.
Voting takes place from midnight (00:00 hours) EST on March 16, 2012 until midnight (00:00 hours) EST on March 26, 2012.
$100 of EvaDress patterns will be awarded to the winners of each category plus free shipping (international included). The awards (in the form of EvaDress gift certificates) are redeemable for up to one year from March 15, 2012 (the contest ending date).
Contest winners will be notified via e-mail. I will also publish them on my FaceBook page, at evadress.wordpress.com and I will post them on this blog site.
Here are the contest rules as a refresher:
Category 1~Any EvaDress pattern garment project that you have only thought about doing, but never took on. When you submit in this category, tell us why you only dreamed about doing the project and never made it. For example, perhaps your technical or pattern grading skills just weren't there yet:
Category 1 Voting
Category 2~Any EvaDress pattern garment project you started some time ago and have been meaning to finish. It doesn't matter if it has been years (hey, it happens) or weeks, when you submit in this category you need to tell us why you didn't finish it until now.
NOTE: Category 2 was exempt from the pre-January 15, 2012 contest start date for obvious reasons, but if you are entering in this category, you are not to pick that project up and continue it until 12 a.m. January 15, 2012:
Category 2 Voting
Category 3~Best use of pattern in its original form = Any garment for men, women or children created devoutly from the pattern (that is, with no changes to the design, although grading or alteration to the pattern for proper fit or length is a must):
Category 3 Voting
Category 4~Best use of pattern as adapted for contemporary-wear = Any garment for men, women, children created from an EvaDress pattern that has been modified for a more updated look (design changes allowed). One may not use pattern pieces from pattern companies other than EvaDress but, may incorporate pieces from an original vintage pattern, if desired:

That's Sew Cinematic
I spotted this on Debi Fry's blog at Fashions From the Past :
I posted with Rhinestones and Telephones that I wish to take on a project I thought about 10 years ago for a nightgown not unlike what Irene Dunn wore at the end of 'My Favorite Wife'.
It has been a while and I am afraid I did not remember the puff sleeves and that the opening is above the bust line, not below:
Another observation is the slashed opening in the back.
Here is the pattern I found to be very similar (style at upper left, with the opening):
Don't imagine I will commence the project before the end of this month due to heavy deadlines, but I will post my progress to keep you all up to date.
In the meantime, I encourage you all to take a look at this sew-along challenge and participate!
P.S. Here is Cary dressed as Santa, it was too cute not to share here!

New Multi-Size Pattern
Really don't want this latest addition to outshine the contest posts I have on this site, but I do have to mention that the long-awaited 1930's Evening Gown pattern is now available.
It is printed on one sheet for sizes 32 to 44-inch bust:

2012 EvaDress Pattern Contest
The 2012 EvaDress Pattern Contest will commence at midnight (00:00 hours) EST January 15, 2012.
There are four categories for which one may sew and each entrant is welcome to submit as many projects as desired within each category. Each entry will be judged according to quality of construction (as best we can tell online!) and creativity.
The BIG theme for this year's contest is completing that project you have always wanted to do:
Category 1~Any EvaDress pattern garment project that you have only thought about doing, but never took on. When you submit in this category, tell us why you only dreamed about doing the project and never made it. For example, perhaps your technical or pattern grading skills just weren't there yet.
Category 2~Any EvaDress pattern garment project you started some time ago and have been meaning to finish. It doesn't matter if it has been years (hey, it happens) or weeks, when you submit in this category you need to tell us why you didn't finish it until now.
NOTE: Category 2 is exempt from the pre-January 15, 2012 contest start date for obvious reasons, but if you are entering in this category, you are not to pick that project up and continue it until midnight (00:00 hours) January 15, 2012.
Category 3~Best use of pattern in its original form = Any garment for men, women or children created devoutly from the pattern (that is, with no changes to the design, although grading or alteration to the pattern for proper fit or length is a must).
Category 4~Best use of pattern as adapted for contemporary-wear = Any garment for men, women, children created from an EvaDress pattern that has been modified for a more updated look (design changes allowed). One may not use pattern pieces from pattern companies other than EvaDress but, may incorporate pieces from an original vintage pattern, if desired.
No purchase necessary to enter (one may use from one's EvaDress pattern stash).
The winners will be voted by all participating EvaDress customers, fellow entrants and members (followers) of this blog.
$100 of EvaDress patterns will be awarded to the winners of each category plus free shipping (international included). The awards (in the form of EvaDress gift certificates) are redeemable for up to one year from March 15, 2012 (the contest ending date).
Projects are to be started no sooner than midnight (00:00 hours) EST on January 15, 2012 (with the exception of Category 2-see note above) and the contest will close for submissions at midnight (00:00 hours) EST on March 15, 2012. Voting will take place from midnight (00:00 hours) EST on March 16, 2012 until midnight (00:00 hours) EST on March 26, 2012.
To enter, e-mail photos with descriptions of each project to me and I will e-mail a confirmation of receipt of your project within 24 hours. If you do not receive a confirmation from me, please follow-up by phone (posted in contact info from my site here) or by alternate e-mail at: theevadress(AT)yahoo.com to ensure that your submission was received.
One is permitted to submit a project if the muslin was started before the contest begin date, but the final fabric project is to be executed within the published contest timeframe. Patterns may have been graded or altered for proper fit before the contest start date as well.
Each submission should include at least one front view or the front view shot at an angle to show a side view as well. Back shots are to be submitted as well. Additional shots may be submitted depending on what each project requires. Each photo needs to be 72dpi and no smaller than 8-1/4” by 11”.
***Do not forget to mention which category you wish your project to be considered when submitting your photos and project description!***
I will post submissions on my Wordpress blog for the voting process. I will post here to notify of my Wordpress addy as soon as I begin posting submissions, so stay tuned to this post.
Only one vote per person in each category will be counted toward the results.
Contest winners will be notified via e-mail.
Feel free to e-mail me with questions. Questions may also be posted on my Facebook (I am EvaDress) wall or posted by commenting on this blog post. I will answer your questions by e-mail and may additionally publicize them on Facebook and the blog post.

'Luxe' continues through 2012!
On the Boards for 2012...
Now out for release is this pattern I have been wanting to do for 12 years!
The original art for this pattern was not in good shape, so all I have is this view of the front (if anyone has access to a good stock image of this pattern McCall 6983 I would appreciate knowing about it!):
The following 1930's McCall patterns are certainly quite 'luxe' and therefore, fit the bill for the coming year! I plan to issue one each quarter throughout '12 (starting in May):
