Dearest Dead Pan Diva... How I want to throw stones at you hoping to hit you in the head knocking you out just long enough to steal all your vintage patterns! You seem to get the best of the best and that makes me jealous! :-D I am just teasing. I do envy your pattern stash though.

You said dearest so no offence taken. The first pattern is missing the cuff and detachable collar for the long sleeved version and the second is missing the bodice back but I am hoping I can draft the missing pieces and the prices were crazy low.

Where do you find these patterns deadpan? They're amazing.

 

[Land-O-LakesGal]

Ladies I think DeadPanDiva must have a whole closet just for her patterns and about 3 more for all the clothes she makes from them.

In love with that second one!! What year is it? The drawings of the back part dont look too difficult so I'm sure you can figure it out. I will also join those that are jealous of your pattern collection!!!

DPD: Your patterns are beautiful! I love the one on the right

Its from 1938. I guessed 1937 so I was close.

DPD, I gotta say, your taste in patterns is great. I can imagine you in all the ones you post.

 

[deadpandiva]

Thanks. I have to stop buying patterns for a while so that I can actually make something. I have loved most of my recent purchases so much that I can't make up my mind which to sew first.

 

[Miss Sis]

Well, I hope you post some pics in the Show us what you Made thread when you do!

Not wildly exciting, but a skirt pattern. I have a thing for skirts, much more than dresses and realised I didn't have any sort of panelled skirt pattern in my stash. I can add inverted pleats easily enough to this too.

I just bought my first vintage patterns off Ebay. They came in a lot of 4. The first two I'm not so keen on, but I'm really looking forward to making the other two once I figure them out and play with the sizing a bit!

These are my latest purchases and what a bargin they were I got them for $6.00!

 

[Miss Tuppence]

Two recent early to mid forties pattern finds.
I grant you, that the packaging is mighty tatty, but I couldn’t resist.
I thought the dress on the right would be marvellous in the summer months, and the one on a left would be nice for a wedding!
