I LOVE this amazing vintage sewing pattern that Rita from Chez Cemitarian has listed on eBay right now.

Those fabric folds on the skirt, how swoon worthy.

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.

What I Like Today

I was doing my regular stylefeed and went over to Mom's Patterns.
Jen always has tons of great vintage patterns, but I fell in love with these two.
Pretty 40's vintage dress pattern with puff sleeves, square neckline and flared skirt and this 40's pattern for a button front frock....which I think looks very close to a 30's dress pattern.
