    Scissor Happy

    I came across this seller on ebay who was selling a copy of Butterick 6056 which is very similar to the sarong pattern you were looking at and should be cheaper.

    I came across these in a shop in Nottingham over the weekend, fell in love with them, love the flower detail and the plastic heels. Couldn't afford them at the time but have found them greatly reduced on the internet for £9.99, Yeeh!! may just have to spend some pennies now.

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    That dress is lovely. I've had a nose on ebay and the culotte dress patterns available seem to have quite slim culottes, your best bet would be to put 2 patterns together, a nice full culotte and a tailored blouse. I'm sure it would be worth the effort. Just found a few patterns on Etsy that...
