<p>Hi, I wasn't sure if anyone has seen this show, but it's absolutely wonderful. Okay, and I'm in love with the fashion on the show.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Does anyone know what would be a similar pattern to this dress with the round neckline?</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I really like this item that is not available from Shabby Apple anymore (not that I could afford it with their international postage...). Anyway, I haven't come across a pattern that looks like this, so I thought maybe some of you would have suggestions?</p>

<p>I love the cut of the dress (and found out about it through Royal watching - Kate Middleton wore it). It looks so simple - and so vintage but with an updated fabric - but I'm not even sure where to start looking for the style! </p>
<p></p>

<p>I just got into this show, and watched all the episodes in a row. Anyone else see Marnie's dress in the second to last episode? They are standing in the apartment, Hannah is talking about one of her essay's, and Marnie doesn't like that essay. It is a sheath dress, with a belt, and such a weird neckline!

<p> </p>
<p>I think this could be a totally achievable thing to emulate with home sewing - a perfect Make This Look project.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been hunting through vintage pattern wikis but not had much success. Don't suppose any of you have stumbled across a similar pattern? Obviously the dress itself is pretty straightforward, but those collars look tricky!</p>

<p>So I'm in love with this dress, and I think it should be really easy to make, let alone find a pattern to work with. It seems like such a simple/familiar silhouette that would be easy to find. Alas, my own search left me almost empty handed. The closest I got was the Vogue patterns V8670 and V1259, and that's with some serious adjusting. Anyone have any other ideas? Honestly, I've only sewn two articles of clothing for myself and pajama pants for my kids, so this would be a HUGE stretch for me. But I'm really starting to get the hankering to make some cute stuff for myself! Help me fullfil my dream! ;)</p> Mad Men MTL help neededtag:circle.sewweekly.com,2012-02-02:6365347:Topic:1260232012-02-02T15:43:13.020ZVicki Muisehttp://circle.sewweekly.com/profile/VickiMuise
