Brown: Don't you think we should help her out of that hole? I would, but my right arm is broken and hanging at this awkward angle.
Blue: Look! Hummingbirds!
Black: I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a rope and winch today.
Pattern via Lisa at the Vintage Fashion Library. (There is SO MUCH good stuff there right now, peoples!)

it’s nearly impossible to climb out of a hole while wearing a pencil skirt.

Unless you hike it up above your waist and clamber out. I guess it’s a question of how badly you want out of the hole.

I agree! I love to stop by and crack up at your pattern posts! Maybe one day, I will attempt to sew a dress again. I seem to have gotten stuck in quilting mode, which I find so much easier than actually making clothes. You really inspire me though…

I know I’m way late to the party on this one, but I featured a very similar Butterick pattern in a recent post on my blog:

Two of the stylish Vintage Pattern Envelope Ladies in my blog post are wearing dresses in the same shades of blue and brownish-tan, and the style of the dresses are kind of similar. I don’t think there’s a date on my pattern, but my guess is mid-1950s.
