Come now, Olive Bleu, do any of us REALLY use every pattern we own?????

I have loads that I wish I had the time to make! I'm gonna be knitting and sewing till doomsday!!!!

lol..of course not..if i did that i would never got to work!! I am just saying i can't stop making nightgowns!!I desperately need new blouses, but what am i pulling out?? nightgown patterns!

I've got a few more... I'm still trying to get a lot of skirt options. I'm ready for summer clothes!

This is a pretty good basic wartime pleated skirt. I don't have immediate plans for this one, but it will be good to have on hand.

This one I'm really excited about. I've been wanting a skirt with some sort of shaped yoke for a long time. I'm going to make it out of denim with lots of topstitching! What color do you think? Medium blue denim or dark blue?

And I picked this one up for 99¢! The pattern number dates it to the late 1930s or 1944; I'm leaning toward 1944.

Sunny that simplicity skirt pattern is divine.
I one this and another one from the same seller.

My max for this was insanley high for me but luckly it didn't come near that price. I am going to make a few of the cap sleeved top with matching skirts. That will be so cute if it ever stops snowing here.

I saw that one today! Congrats! I was hoping someone I knew got it!

Here's a couple more I got. I'm hoping to make the wrap dress for my honeymoon in Hawaii AND I just got a McCall Magazine from 1939 that has a pic of the dress in it! And the playsuit I just won that I pictured before as well! Too cool!

Ok. Stoping buying patterns now. I swear.

 

[imoldfashioned]

Everyone's getting such beautiful things! LD you are amazingly lucky to find patterns in those large sizes lately--I adore the last dress you posted.

 

[Lady Day]

I know IOF. There seems to be a glut of over 40+ bust size patterns on eBay. Its rad!

AHHHH!!! I was watching that, Lauren!! I couldn't make up my mind how much I "needed" it to place a snipe bid, and then it ended. It's really lovely.

Does anyone know of where I can find a size 20 1940's one piece bathing suit? (40-42 bust)

My friend Sharon is joining me at Reading this year and doesn't have something to wear on a really hot day. We've already got the fabric picked out and the skirt pattern for play suit effect. But ebay is of no help- larger patterns go like hotcakes, and there never seem to be any larger bathing suit patterns to be found elsewhere!

 

[Idledame]

This is a 2 piece but doesn't show much skin, and wouldn't be too hard to resize I think.

I saw that one on EvaDress too, and I think that's the one we may have to go w/. I'd love it for myself, but she's a little self conscious.

Hi. So nice of you to answer. I pasted in you post here:

I believe it says Vogue Pattern 9095.Have you sewn some of the pants yourself? They look gorgeous! Well right now all widelegged pants make me swoon.

I wish you a beautiful weekend!

Couple of 41s. The nightie is definitely getting made up in brushed cotton for this winter.

 

[Mary]

Sorry everybody.

This was ment to be private letter. I'm such a computer klutz.

 

[Lady Day]

I just won these!! Fifteen antique patterns!
I was lusting after these all week. They are early 1900 patterns but check out the bust sizes

And I got them at roughly $10 each!

Yay!

Oh, gosh! I'm sorry! I guess we both have good taste? [huh]

This set was added to my stash this week... I was really after the pants pattern

I just love seeing what everyone's got! Yay for patterns!

 

[ShoreRoadLady]

Lovely patterns, Lady Day! Besides the Golden Era, one of my favorite periods for style is the 1910's. Those are some nice examples.

(This is only my second post, so...hello, ladies! I've been lurking forever, and the vintage pattern thread is one of my favorites.)
