Saw that on etsy yesterday and thought of you! Glad you got it, such a lovely pattern.

I love the sleeves on this 1933 pattern. I may even make some blouses out of it. So glad to find it in my size.

 

[Miss Sis]

LD, saw this and love it. Why can't I find this robe pattern in MY size? Have only found it in 46" and 38" busts (both too big). Waaaah!

Swinggal, that is such a pretty dress. Will make lovely blouses too.

Not a women's vintage pattern, but a vintage pattern nonetheless. I picked up this for $10 at an antique store. Could anyone pinpoint the date for me as I'm having a little trouble doing so. Any guess would be appreciated. Thank you.

My guess is late 20s/early 30s.

I thought late 1920s as that looks like a very early envelope design for Simplicity. Children's clothes from then are so lovely.

Thanks for all the help girls!
I am always so jealous of children as they have the coolest clothes.

HepKitty- Wow! What an amazing find!

I remember sewing the bottom one in back in my high school days.70's does 40's!

 

[deadpandiva]

Did you like the dress whenit was finished crwritt? Which version did you make?

This is a sad envelope but all the pieces are present.

Popped my vintage pattern cherry!

So excited, I have finally bought my very first vintage pattern! I have a dress from Trashy Diva that is almost exactly the same as the short sleeve version, now I won't have to pay $140 to have another dress like it! I am somewhat terrified of the perforations and 40s style instructions, but I am sure I will figure it out eventually.

Lady Day, I'm thinking about the dress for your Plain Pattern Sew Along.

The same seller had this blouse pattern that I got for $4.99. I'll make the jerkin up in a nice wool for the winter and have something other than sweaters to keep me warm.

That would be perfect for the sew along!
