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.

Vintage Patterns Just Listed

Ok, actually the vintage sewing patterns are in the "coming soon" category over at Sew-Retro Vintage Patterns.
I really love the 2 Vogue Special Design suit patterns. A chic and sexy Noir suit and a more sporty one ala Claire McCardell.
This one is just a great 40's look.
A couple of vintage patterns in larger sizes...and can I pass on my love of the vintage shirtwaist dress? Depending on the fabric is can be worn as a house dress, day dress to run errands in or a easy to wear dinner dress. Always perfect for whatever the occasion.
Stop by and take a look at all the vintage patterns listed at Sew-Retro Vintage Patterns and don't forget to spend a bit of time with the other sellers I share the Pattern and Sewing Mall with.

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.
