Just had to comment how awesome that pattern is.

ReplyDeleteI love the old pattern. Recently I saw a teenage girl in the fabric store with some similar patterns. She was making dresses for herself--she thought they were so cool, which I thought was so cool.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for us Aussies! And I've got on just after 1 am....:o)

ReplyDeleteThe dress patterns are gorgeoius! It reminds me of my wedding dress... I got married 9 Oct 2009 and made a vogue pattern originally released in 1947. I can still fit into it too! Ready to have a cocktail and meet a whole bunch of new sewing friends!

ReplyDeleteI have stopped by several times, maybe some confusion with the day and time - but like everyone - I remember very similar patterns - my mother, grandmother, aunts. It was the style and most women sewed their own clothes. I will check back later and even tomorrow.
