We recently had to renew our annual passes for Disney
World. This cast member was so impressed with our outfits
that he asked if he could have his photo taken with us. Of
course, we obliged. We have had several cast members
either ask to have a photo taken with us, or they call their
supervisor over to take a photo of us in our outfits. It is a
good feeling to know that the cast members appreciate our
clothing and the details we add to make our outfits
complete.
We finally got to meet Gertie, who designs patterns for the Butterick pattern company. Last year our sewing group put
out a challenge for everyone to take one of her patterns, Butterick B6453, and make a dress. After we all had our
dresses completed, we met at Disney Springs to have a day to show off our dresses and compare our final looks.
Joanie did the full-skirt version in hot pink, as you can see here. There were many dresses made from exactly the same
pattern and each one was unique. There were lots of florals, some with pencil skirts and some with full skirts. The
different interpretations made a beautiful group photo. To see the entire collection from our group, check our event
site on this website.
As you can see, Gertie has a variety of vintage styled patterns sold through the Butterick company. She emphasizes
the retro look that so many of us adore. She also does sewing workshops, has written a book on sewing techniques
and has a Facebook group where you can get tips on working with any of her patterns and ask questions or just show
off your creations made with her patterns.
Dapper Day eve, the evening before the official Dapper Day, many people gather in Disney Springs to get a head start
on the festivities for the weekend. It is a comfortable place to meet other fancy people and renew acquaintances.
Disney Springs vendors usually have some special offers or give-aways for attendees, and there is a feeling of
excitement in the air. People come and go at their own pace, and it is just a fun evening. This year Chapel Hats had a
fashion show parade and gave away some gift certificates, some of the restaurants and bars offered drinks especially
designed for the Dapper Day crowd. In the past there have been DJ’s playing swing music that drew crowds of dancers
to show off their style.
There is plenty of time to check out vintage jewelry that
ladies choose to wear to accessorize their dresses. Hats
always play an important part, and vintage hairstyles are
one of the big attractions, too.
Shoes have also become a very important accessory. It is not only important to look good,
but they must also be comfortable. These shoes accomplish both goals. This young lady
completed her outfit with a parasol, vintage purse and gloves, as well as the hat. She was one
of the winners of the fashion show parade at Chapel Hats that evening.
