John Kaldor Designer Fabrics and the Sewing Magazines

There are a lot of lovely sewing magazines about these days, filled with interesting articles, patterns, adverts and a lot of lovely makes and free patterns. Croft Mill fabrics have a lovely lot of new John Kaldor fabrics which will make lovely wiggle dresses. One of the most popular fashion styles from the 1950s is what is called the wiggle style. This figure hugging, curvy style can enhance a woman’s body.

We found a great FREE pattern in the Sew Magazine –

What is a wiggle dress you may ask?

It is a dress whose hem is narrower than the hip. This causes one to walk in “baby” steps which makes one’s hips wiggle as you walk.

Where would you wear a wiggle dress?

“Wear this dress anywhere that does not require too much walking about like the office or to a cocktail party, depending on fabrics and tightness.”

What body shape does the wiggle dress suit? 

This dress is perfect for women with curves. If you have boobs and a bottom with a shapely waist it will look great. Be confident in a wiggle dress.

Tips for a wiggle dress.

• Choose the right size pattern for your dress, too big does not produce the wiggle.
• Wear the correct kind of underwear with this dress as the wrong kind can show through.
• Watch out for low necklines, too much cleavage can lower the tone of the dress.
• Dress it up with the right accesories and not too hig heels.

Here we have some patterns which would make great wiggle dresses, although you may have to alter the hem width a bit on some of them.
