Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

[scarlett]

Heartbreaker Fashion - yes, I have several items from them and I am happy with them. Easy care, most are hand washable and require little or no ironing. The A-line skirt isn't too light, I wear it all year round. Tights underneath make it a little warmer. The clothing is well made and holds up very well.
I also like ModeMerr. High quality construction and not the same old cookie cutter dresses that everyone else at the show will have on.

Thanks for the review! I definitely want to order the Vanessa dress. And I want the diner dress in every color! Hehe! Yes, Modemerr is very drool worthy!! I'd love to own some of her pieces too!

Oh phooey. I hate when that happens...it's like ordering from ModCloth. At times they have really cute vintage-inspired dresses, but sadly super short. I guess that's the modern spin they add to it.

Anyhoo, happy to help, and I'm glad they wrote back.

I totally agree- I find that super frustrating as well- I don't get why they wouldn't just make them slightly longer- isn't that better for business anyway, because you can always shorten it if you dont like the length. I have passed up so many dresses with mod cloth because of it :-(

Vivien of Holloway Announcement

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but it appears Vivien of Holloway will be raising their prices starting on New Years. Might be a good time to buy if you were planning on doing so.

I can't wait for the new ModeMerr stuff to hit the website - there were some droolworthy pieces in the preview. (Ladies, outta my way - the tartan skirt is MINE! )lol

The new day dresses from VoH look very nice, i've got my eye on the black and white one.

Simplicity 4683 seems very similar!

Is this a vintage pattern??

Found a great Etsy shop!

Hey, Ladies. Found a great Etsy shop by the name of "Vintage Pattern Place" which sells vintage knitting & crocheting patterns. She is even kind enough to enlarge the print on the PDF patterns so they're easier to read! This is a very nice and helpful person, so I thought I'd pass along word about her shop - she knows I'm posting here, so there's no surprises for her

Note: I posted this here as I asked about posting this on the Etsy shop thread, and Lady Day was kind enough to point me here - Vintage Pattern Place is not my shop, and the Etsy shop thread is for members of Fedora Lounge only (rightfully so). Thank you Lady Day - she's great, isn't she?

Someone posted the ModeMerr new designs earlier but I can't find the post. I think it was in MM's Facebook album. I'm keeping a beady eye on her website as they're supposed to go on some time this month.

I actually just purchased a few of her patterns - she has some really nice
30's sweater dress/coat and hat sets. I would say that I would review this pattern once it is completed for you girls, but I am a beginner at knitting, so I don't think anyone wants to wait for the next 5 years or so till I am done, do they? lol

 

[Mugwump]

MaryMary, I was thinking the same thing myself - it'll take me forever to get one of these done to be able to review it
I've found another one that sells knitting and crocheting patterns, too. BabyDee Vintage - some great patterns from the 1930's and up. Fantastic seller, nice to "convo" with too.

I've bought from BabyDee as well and can confirm she is great to deal with!

 

[GlamourDoll]

I've noticed there are some really great vintage inspired clothing lines that sponsor Fluer's blog diaryofavintagegirl.com! And I also love misshussy.bigcartel.com and trashydiva.com!

I bought a sweater last year from one of the companies recently featured in Fleurs blog (http://www.etsy.com/shop/greetzfromtiz) and I highly recommend them! Machine knit, well made, and super cute.

Thanks for the link. I love those bow sweaters.

That's ok!! I actually found a piccture of it somewhere but I can't seem to find the pattern anywhere so I guess I get to try to do it myself with modern patterns. EEHH!! We will see how that works out!! I don't need it until April or whenever it gets warm enough to wear it here again so I have time!!! Which is a good thing because we are in the process of selling our house and buidling a new one...

I think making it myself will work though. I would change it even if I had the pattern anyways since I dont like the bows on the shoulders and want to make it a little more 40s so I can wear it to WWII weekend in April...

I'm glad to hear that -- I saw her post and couldn't stop myself from buying one!

Hooray! Thanks for the heads up!
