Market Research for My Etsy Shop

That's exactly what I had in mind...adult size of course! lol

If you still want one after December, I could probably make you one. Right now, I'm tied up knitting examples for a living history demo that I'm doing in December.

I would die if you sold knit dresses made after 30's knitting patterns, it would be amazing, but I realize it'd be very time consuming.

I have a Minerva knitting book from the 30s that has a pattern for a knitted floor length evening gown in it. I can't even begin to imagine how time consuming that would be, especially because it's made from a fine gauge yarn.

The V&A has a knit petticoat from the 18th century in it's collection that has over 2,000 stitches around the bottom of it's hem in lace-weight yarn. It would take a lifetime for me to finish something like that.

I have found loads of patterns for hats on line, but trying to find vintage ones is a little more difficult. I've noticed some cloches in some of the fall fashion previews, but they are really never out of style.

Thank you for all the votes so far. I really appreciate it!

I agree with Laura Chase re. the 1930s dresses, but also, I'd love to buys some sweaters or cardigans in the style of this era. This ebay shop has patterns.
