The back view of a dress was often its best feature. These illustrations are from an old scrap book of mine, so I can't give you the exact dates, however most are from the early half of this decade. These fashion illustrations are just a peek into the wide range of back views seen during that time. <br /><br />If you are dating a vintage dress that seems to be from this era, check out the back, that may help determine what decade it is from even more than the front view. And if you are going to sew for summer, why not consider adding some back interest to your project, that could make it something special.

Yes, that center style has a divided skirt! I could see sewing up a few for spring, or even some in heavier fabrics for winter. How cute would these be with leggings and boots?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSUKQPdSxd8n-TIqBacTxDrh3qbQWqY51wrQuFAMt8iHWTp0puNCVTSzHlHrBc8irU8kva4_gFRvwnsBvG-1xoERrzgORN2MFKsfW5U6A42DUIJdVwdIIzIjjIA-KZzwse7ZmtVRsNWu9S/s1600/Slide2.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531307628566255954" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSUKQPdSxd8n-TIqBacTxDrh3qbQWqY51wrQuFAMt8iHWTp0puNCVTSzHlHrBc8irU8kva4_gFRvwnsBvG-1xoERrzgORN2MFKsfW5U6A42DUIJdVwdIIzIjjIA-KZzwse7ZmtVRsNWu9S/s400/Slide2.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 450px;" /></a>These dresses are all from vintage BUTTERICK patterns of that era. With so many cool vintage patterns <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_query=1960s+butterick+dress&search_type=vintage">selling on Etsy</a> and other sites online, I think it wouldn't be too hard to look them up for yourself. I find these older patterns have excellent pattern instructions that are easy to work from.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiKoG9Tft1_ZP_5XBCuczMvuYwJvP1_JKYFG2xlZjwqQxHBeS6vKBL_oeRE2qzLcGiVB65vevZOhzM1H8lRWUn_EB9lfWgSutzfZsnQSGluIaxBPRk8pkZ-qn0DpkwNGtv1bNZ0pYS9rVs/s1600/Slide3.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531307480550551026" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiKoG9Tft1_ZP_5XBCuczMvuYwJvP1_JKYFG2xlZjwqQxHBeS6vKBL_oeRE2qzLcGiVB65vevZOhzM1H8lRWUn_EB9lfWgSutzfZsnQSGluIaxBPRk8pkZ-qn0DpkwNGtv1bNZ0pYS9rVs/s400/Slide3.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 450px;" /></a>Here are the back views with pattern numbers, so you can get a good idea about the styles. <br />Would you use a 60's pattern to sew a dress like the ones here?<br /><br /><br />If you collect or wear vintage, this group of styles dates from Spring, 1967. Using patterns can be a great way to help with dating vintage garments too.<br /><br /><br /><a class="twitter-share-button" data-count="none" data-via="Pintuckstyle" href="http://twitter.com/share">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
