Show us your vintage patterns!
Sorry if this post is huge. I have been collecting some lutteroh over the past year as I find it difficult to get vintage patterns in my size and I am not confident enough to size up patterns, so these are my solution. I know they can be expensive on ebay, but I have never paid a lot for mine, I...- fluffy-tiger

Iv'e done two versions so far and I think I may make more. The blue gingham one gets comments all the time. I also just purchased this simplicity 1964 version which I am dying to try, I love the pockets.- fluffy-tiger

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
I think my obsession came from school and dance classess. I used to go to tap classes and my teachers were very old( they seemed very old to a 10 year old) and into old jazz and musicals. My headmaster at school played piano and was into old musicals as well and used to get us to sing old Disney...- fluffy-tiger

Show us what you've made!
Yes, it's a bit awkward to sew in but this petticoat is very forgiving and small mistakes just don't show unless you are very close. It's very difficult to get net in the required width though but you can adjust the pattern for other widths if you have a maths head. I just got some in shell pink...- fluffy-tiger

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Hey everybody, I having been reading this site forever, but never posted until recently (mainly cos I'm too lazy to go through registration processes). I've been into vintage for most of my life, and was obsessed with musicals as a kid. Unfortunately I have yet to meet anybody who has similar...- fluffy-tiger

Vintage Bathing Suits
I got this costume two years ago and have never worn it and will never part with it, I love it so much, it also came with the gorgeous matching skirt. It is 1950's but had never been worn and still had the original label on it when I got it. The costume fits but the skirt is too small at the...- fluffy-tiger

Vintage Disapointment
I work with a girl whom I have heard from other people is into vintage, and frequents rockabilly and burlesque nights, and no matter how hard I have tried to get her into a conversation about it she just brushes me off. I have told her that I collect and make vintage clothing, and go to nights...- fluffy-tiger

That is why I made one, it was much cheaper and twice as full as most of the ones I had seen in shops and online. I would have needed to wear two petticoats to get my skirts as big as I wanted. Plus the ones in the shops are never the right length.- fluffy-tiger

Thank you, Lutterloh are fantastic as you can scale the pattern to any size, your size would be no problem. I am a 34F myself and find it hard to get modern bras let alone vintage, so I was super pleased that this worked so well, and it's a good way to use up scraps as there is so little fabric...- fluffy-tiger

Im new to posting on this forum though I have been hanging around for an age, but I was so pleased with my new underpinnings that I had to show them off somewhere. The first is a bra from a 1957 Lutteroh pattern book, and was so easy I did 2 in two evenings out of scraps.(scuse my flabby bits)...- fluffy-tiger
