Oh, thank-you, thank-you for this site link. I haven't been hunting up vintage pattern sites lately as we moved last year and I discovered how many vintage/antique patterns I have (not telling.) This is like leftover cake for breakfast: you know you shouldn't, but gee, it's good.
Oh, another one - and a good one as the patterns are wearable. There's definitely a bolero in my future. One place I used to hang around is the Antique Pattern Library which is a bit of a jumble, but interesting: http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/ I got all righteous when I housecleaned, downsized, destashed, and deleted my too tempting links with the sure knowledge that it was "for the best" and "good for me to show some discipline." Humph.
Bunnykins - how true about da donald. Would love to know more of your vintage pattern sites as I am the Costume Designer for a H.S. in Ct. Always looking for period patterns. Just scored 2 real hoop skirts for $20 at Brimfields.
Some one needs to tell Donald Trump this fact.

ReplyDeleteThanks! How did you know I was doing "The Tempest" set in Southeast Asia?
ReplyDeleteMadam Lazonga knows all, sees all.
ReplyDeleteSam - SE Asia, you say? Now that's ambitious!
