Butterick 5962 is a Dior New Look inspired pattern that has just come out. It is designed by <a href="http://www.blogforbettersewing.com/"><b>Gertie at "Blog for Better Sewing".</b></a> and it's really a charmer. As you can see here, like the original jacket, Butterick 5962 has an extreme hourglass fit with the darts and flared peplum hips. This is going to be a cute jacket to sew up in a variety of textiles, from wool worsted to silk shantung. The retro-style circle skirt shown with this jacket makes up the perfect New Look ensemble, for Fall 2013. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzbqRf_1XkHdSuEo0q0aBu9UO70YiPm95Fvf7LAfFklRqqkTlX_0BsOIoDQR6M-ofuQHCHW3VmjWygzDt1AOeaRyHUCUGWAaVJHys9qpu_iJzwmMeyoO24RjtSEAOddcpl5fNC3UbA-8fV/s1600/Slide3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzbqRf_1XkHdSuEo0q0aBu9UO70YiPm95Fvf7LAfFklRqqkTlX_0BsOIoDQR6M-ofuQHCHW3VmjWygzDt1AOeaRyHUCUGWAaVJHys9qpu_iJzwmMeyoO24RjtSEAOddcpl5fNC3UbA-8fV/s400/Slide3.JPG" width="500" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9gvUKezhIPKcIZxWAf0WKadrXidFyIOpKrCIXZ0L33zpoUljtvogEAtLuzvrmfqYFw0MdYxP2CAjtOeZumRPnwix2t2dZDFsoFhlTYY1_NkpYGnmTShQwsfeWGgjKQjJGDOawpFbR-T9P/s1600/Slide2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9gvUKezhIPKcIZxWAf0WKadrXidFyIOpKrCIXZ0L33zpoUljtvogEAtLuzvrmfqYFw0MdYxP2CAjtOeZumRPnwix2t2dZDFsoFhlTYY1_NkpYGnmTShQwsfeWGgjKQjJGDOawpFbR-T9P/s400/Slide2.JPG" width="500" /></a></div><br /><br />Two more vintage inspired looks are also new at Butterick. You can see that these dresses have lots of great retro-style details. The black checked sheath (Butterick 5953) with black 'wing' detail is also by Gertie. The shirred 40's look dress (Butterick 5961) would be gorgeous in a super drapey fabric like jersey or crepe. With either, it would be possible to re-capture a vintage look in your own fit and color scheme for something special this fall. <br /><br />
