I'm sorry...I know this is not very lady-like, but has any one looked back at the beginning of this topic at the post JBD made... lol :eek: :eek:

Thank you for pointing that out...removed the links.

Thats what sometimes happens when you direct link somewhere that doesn't want you to.


Next time...just send a PR bartender a PM and we shall take care of it

No, it's just because the images that were posted were linked to another site. It happens a lot...it uses up the other website bandwidth, which is why they tend to get cranky about it...

I'm pretty sure that wardrobe set is new. I went in to Hancocks last weekend for the Butterick sale, and that Simplicity one wasn't in the book. This week when I went in for the Simplicity sale it was. So, brand new I would say. :D

Just hang in there, Simplicity'll go on sale again. ;)

You're right, I've never seen that before, but last night I cut out a jacket pattern that was printed and factory cut. Best of both worlds! It was a Simplicity pattern from 1943, I believe.


I just found this one in my stock that is a classic example of Printed and Pre Cut. It's from '46.

I didn't realize there was a pattern thread or I would have posted mine here. I picked up Vogue 2885 and Vogue 2858
http://www.voguepatterns.com/item/V2885.htm?tab=vintage_vogue&page=1
http://www.voguepatterns.com/item/V2858.htm?tab=vintage_vogue&page=2

2858 looks very similar to a dress found on revampvintage.com that I want to copy. I'm not sure what I'll do with 2885. They had only one copy which was a size smaller than I need, but it was on sale for $3.99, so I took it anyway. The skirt will be easy to draft up to fit, but I'm not sure about the jacket.

I ended up buying this one today. After fussing with the muslin bodice for the Vogue dress I recently bought and the S&S Swing dress (recently weight loss has changed the fit) I decided I'd do better with seperates. I always look better in seperates. I wish I could have waited until the Simplicity sale next week at Hancock, but I need to have the outfit ready in 2wks.

ISO blouse pics

Being a curvy gal, I have a hard time finding vintage blouses or blouse patterns. So, I've decided to try my hand at adapting a modern blouse patterns. I have a bunch of the reprint Simplicity and Vogue patterns, but none of them have blouses. I'm looking for pics of either patterns or garments for a nice short-sleved blouse, bonus points for anything that doesn't have to be tucked in, ie peplum or some other treatment (still have that pregnancy pooch to hide).
