Vintage 1950s ball gown pattern - Butterick 7929

Description

....Caroline was a black satin kind of girl. A strappy sky-high stiletto loving martini drinking kind of girl. Georgina looked very much like an organza kind of girl, a ribbon sporting, slipper wearing, babycham-drinking kind of girl. All of which could explain why they'd never really seen eye to eye. But then there was also their longstanding rivalry for the affections of the Honourable Tarquin Ponsonby-Smythe. Their fight at the Prince Rupert Ball would never be forgotten, especially by those unfortunates caught in the crossfire of chrysanthemums and roses....
