Even though there are so many vintage reproduction patterns on the market, not all of them are strictly retro-style. Some of the designs have more of a classic silhouette that can be achieved with modern patterns or even basic blocks. Spotting a unique one that truly represents an era is always an exciting event that leads to a fun sewing project and a true treasure in the wardrobe. That’s exactly how I felt when I was working on my Butterick B6485.
A black pencil skirt is something that can’t be underestimated. It’s such a universal piece of clothing that can be worn for any occasion and in any season. It always adds a nice classy touch to any outfit and, if sewn in black, makes it so much easier to pair with any top or blouse.
