Just got these today and I don't know where to start! I don't know how complete they are, but it was only $4 for the bunch.

That is such a beautiful cut. I wonder how flattering it would be, would be really excited to see it made up!
I have some navy rayon challis in my stash that will work for it. It will take some grading, but I've been looking for a skirt like this for a while.

LD That McCall blouse made me squee so loudly! It's gorgeous! Please consider reproing it. Pleasy please!

I picked this off Etsy this morning. I can't get enough offset button-ups.

I think I'll make it in teal and black linen.

ColeV48, where did you get those? Some of those dresses are fantastic!

My old work place occasionally had fundraising things selling stuff people clean out of their house (fabric, crafting supplies, movies, etc). One of the ladies that runs it picked up a bin of vintage patterns for $5 a while back at a garage sale. They had dozens out! One even looked like a 1920s dress (but rather beat up).

Here are my latest. I'm crushed that the Simplicity is missing the blouse sleeve.

Well don't be crushed because I have the exact same pattern. It's a size 12 however, but sleeves can't be that hard to grade. Just PM me and I'll send you a copy of the blouse sleeve.

I'm going to attempt this for my first ever home-made dress:

I've been eyeing up lots of 1940s patterns but they all seem too fiddly for a novice like myself so I'm starting simple (hopefully).
