Cici, I have that pattern, too! We can be twins! I didn't get mine for $5, though [huh] . What a steal!

 

[SayCici]

Hehe, thanks ladies!
Lauren, definitely! Before I'd seen the pattern and not really given it much attention because I didn't know if culottes could work on me, but for that price, why not try?

Full culottes usually work on everyone if they're full enough to look like a skirt. That pattern looks like it will do the trick. Can't wait to see them!

Are the first two from VPLL? Can't wait to see them I love them both! I'm thinking about getting the beach pajamas, love the flutter sleeves.

 

[Miss_Becky]

DPD those patterns are fabulous

 

[goldwyn girl]

deadpandiva, beautiful patterns. I love 30's style but they just don't suit me

 

[Lauren]

Ooh- love that blouse pattern, dpd.

I think the spring and warmer weather gave me pattern fever with the promise of summer around the corner. Haha. I was a bit naughty over the last few weeks, but I can't wait to make some of these up for summer. I'd been on the lookout for this halter pattern for a few years! Glad to finally have a copy.

I'm not usually a fan of this part of the 40s, but that deco-esque color blocking got to me.

 

[deadpandiva]

SayCici-Yes they are VPLL. I want to make veiw A of the dress but I think the sleeves may be a bit overwelming so I may just start with view B as I think that's more suited for spring/summer anyway.

Lauren- I love that Butterick pattern and the halter pattern.

 

[Lady Day]

Havent gotten any in a bit. This was only $10 and its complete

Cute Pattern Lady Day. I love the brown version with the matching hat and purse.

I can't believe I won this. I thought I'd be outbid for sure but i hate not to bid on something I love only to see it go for obscenly low of not sell at all. I got this for just over $5. I wish I could find gloves like that.

 

[Lady Day]

DPD, I really like the patterns you pick for yourself. They are very flattering to your body type

[Miss Sis]

DPD, $5 for that pattern is a complete bargain and I can see that style looking great on you! Well done!

 

[goldwyn girl]

deadpandiva, the two tone version of the pattern is divine !

 

[Shirin]

What a lovely pattern DPD!

This is my recent win...from 1959

 

[Shirin]

I also got this one, for $5 ! Yay! I've been waiting for this one at a oood price for a while now.

 

[SayCici]

Good job, Shirin! I've definitely seen that pattern at high, high prices.

How do you organize your patterns? By brand, by garment type (blouse, dress, ect), by number, decade, ect, ect. I'm doing a major overhaul and trying to find a way that is easier to find what I'm looking for.

I received this mail order Anne Adams as a gift from a fellow Lounger. I love it and it's a size 44 - perfect!!

I picked up some black cotton yesterday for it to make it up with with the pockets and collar in red skull bandana fabric that was also a gift from a Lounger - i love you gals!!

Thanks to Amy Jeane and Psycho Sue for inspiring me to use crazy novelty fabrics with my vintage patterns!
