New Vintage Patterns at Sew-Retro

I'm in the middle of a new listing frenzy and thought I would show off just a few of the new vintage patterns that are on their way to Sew-Retro.
This late 40's dress and "redingote" riding look coat pattern.
A 40's "apron" pinafore dress, this is really so cute.
I just love this early 50's vintage dress pattern, very soft and flattering.
And a lovely late 20's flapper look dropped waist dress pattern.

Patterns I Like Today


Jen, over at Moms Patterns has this great wrap dress vintage pattern:
Quick & easy wrap around dress. A; Wrap dress with contrast bodice, short sleeve cuffs, patch pockets on skirt. B: Dress with contrast collar and cuffs. C: Contrast cummerbund. D: Collarless view in border print! A girl's gotta have this one!
I think there is nothing better then a versatile design like this. Some dress just are a "day dress" or a "cocktail dress", but this easy design can be whatever you want just from your choice of fabric and trim. I think I especially like it with the bodice and skirt in two different colors or with the large cummerbund.

Coming Soon to Sew-Retro

Here are a few of the vintage patterns I am in the process of listing this week:

This late 20's mail order pattern is my favorite.

This halter dress pattern makes me think of Grace Kelly.

Another sundress and a great mod coat dress Vogue pattern.
