Vogue 1407: Can two style goddesses be wrong? Impossible. August 11, 2025 17:18 2 Comments

VogueCD-1407

Whilst perusing stylish pictures (is there any other kind?) of Audrey Hepburn, I was delighted to come across a photo of her wearing a green dress that looks suspiciously like this 1964 Jo Mattli,  Vogue Couturier Design 1407. The pattern also includes a coat, and it, too, is chic. And I am a pushover for coat and dress ensembles. Absolutely. Such a polished look, in my humble O.

It's quite luscious, and, really, the only noticeable difference is the underskirt peeping out in a darker green fabric, a difference that would be a cinch to duplicate, if you so desired. And the belt with a bow, rather than a simple bow. Again. Easy to duplicate. 

Karen, author of Fifty Dresses, one of my favorite sewing blogs ever — and by ever, I mean yesterday, today, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, of all time — stitched up this pattern, and the dress is stunning, as is Karen wearing it.  Absolutely. Here's a picture:

 

You will definitely want to read her post on making this festive Vogue Mattli. It's detailed and informative. And her fabric choice is perfection. Yes indeedy. (By the way, I will be chatting with Karen later this month, and I hope she will divulge all her sewing secrets.)

And, of course, we have this in stock at TheBlueGardenia.com. (But you knew that, didn't you? Smart cookie, you.) Do check it out. It's a beauty. Can Karen and Audrey, both style goddesses, be wrong? Impossible. Absolutely.
