Sew La Di Da Vintage Paper Sewing Pattern Miss Maguire Jacket, Top & Skirt

Miss Maguire is a sophisticated three piece jacket, top and skirt pattern, with something of the Jackie O about her. The high waisted skirt even has handy pockets for your oversized sunglasses! Consisting of a skirt with waistband, a button backed shell top (either sleeveless or long sleeved) and an open backed swing top to match, shes perhaps our most versatile pattern yet. Better yet, shes perhaps the easiest too, an ideal place to start if this is your first time using a pattern! Miss Maguire suits most fabrics, stiffer silks, crepe and wool give her a smart, 60s look, whilst metallics and brocades bring her in line with modern trends, as does shortening the top to a cropped length or doubling the width of the waistband for an even higher rise on the skirt. The long sleeved swing top, made up as a jacket, works especially well in lace, tulle or organza, especially when the open back is finished with a bow. This same jacket can be layered over several of our other patterns as a flattering addition to sleeveless styles such as Audrey and Margo.
