D'oh!
Im SO glad you stopped bidding, 'cause you dont want to know how high I was willing to go on it.

Im thinking about reproing it, but Im sure we can work something out. You still want that Du Barry pleated skirt, right?

LD

No thanks on the pleated skirt. I've been playing with muslins and the early 30's, like this pattern, is what works on me. If you're interested in a swap, here is my flickr group for all my patterns http://www.flickr.com/photos/12275674@N08/sets/72157608649336586/

I was really not supposed to buy anything, but these two called to me! I've been wanting the 50s one for a while now, so I was glad to find a copy I could afford

Lady Day- That pattern is lovley. The yoke is amazing.
Lauren- I am in love with the forties sundress pattern. i will have to add it to my want list.

I have been wanting a straight skirt or dress with a Godet for ages and this is the perfect size and the price was right. I have some cute fabric that I got for 1.50 a yard that will be perfect.

This is a really interesting pattern. Is the skirt straight in front but full
in the back?Or two different dresses? I am trying to understand from the
back view where those princess seams end up at the sides. Are there pockets?

It's straight in front and full in back. I am not sure about the princess seams either. I haven't received the pattern yet so I don't know if they are pockets or just seams.

I wasn't going to keep this one, but the more I look at it, the more I like it!

I think I may have squealed when I found this one.lol I'm going to make the green number!

Marla that last pattern is adorable. I have recently been looking for a house dress with buttons.

The buttons, the collar, the sleeves--everything about that pattern is divine! I think it's much too pretty to be a house dress!

 

[SayCici]

Yay

 

[Lauren]

So cute! I love the lacing details!

I actually almost fell out of my chair when I found this. Missing the instructions, but so what? Yum Yum! And I have some cotton pique in green and yellow that's already in the stash!

 

[kamikat]

I just bought these from ebay:

What does "10 Years" mean? I have another Hollywood pattern that says "8 Years", but it has little girls on the cover. This looks like an adult. Is this meant to be a teenage pattern?

What does "10 Years" mean? I have another Hollywood pattern that says "8 Years", but it has little girls on the cover. This looks like an adult. Is this meant to be a teenage pattern?

I would check the measurements and instructions once it arrives. It is odd. I can always tell the teen patterns from other companies because the models have little button noses and rosy cheeks. But those definitely look like women. What did the item description say?
