I just love that this kind of thing was so commonplace in women's magazines back then, you certainly wouldn't find much sewing in the mainstream magazines today. While most of these patterns do assume everyone is a 36" bust, I figure it is not hard to work out the pattern for different bodies, by working out the difference. I know I will! Definitely want to make some "step ins" or petti pants to wear under by petticoats this year.Dixie O'Darehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020702451013318284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601320072000337.post-41452596011794435402015-01-28T01:58:16.127+11:002015-01-28T01:58:16.127+11:00These are lovely!

And they would be great for the Vintage Sewing Pattern Pledge. <br />I have quite a few of these self-draft designs but there are a lot of new-to-me options in this post. These things were published in ladies' magazines in the 1950's (and 40's and 60's). <br />Mine are all in Dutch and during last year's Pledge, another seamstress wanted to make a top from a design she had found on Pinterest. Which had originally come from my blog. I found out through the VSPP board and contacted her so I could send her a bigger picture of it ;)<br />If you want to sew from these descriptions, you have to pay attention to the sizing though. Most include measurements or scale pictures which are designed to result in a garment in one specific dress size. Laurianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602295642057814667noreply@blogger.com
