Mail Order 4953 Button Front Dress with Great Bodice 1970's

Certainly I have older and more rare vintage patterns to feature but this button tab bodice strikes me as being a winner.  Mail Order 4953 Button Front Dress with Great Bodice 1970's

A very successful sale weekend - so much so I have spent the last two days packaging and only today was I able to list after scanning this morning.  Whew - it's nice to sell so much but dang packaging is a pain when rushed to get out orders when I know buyers can't wait LOL -

Got that huge shipment of mail order patterns today and just picked my jaw off the floor.  A gazillion 60's Prominent Designer patterns UNCUT to boot.  A number of 1950's and 60's and into the early 1970's other mail order patterns.  Can't wait to start listing them - some are so awesome.

Featured new is Butterick 5049 Classic Shift Dress & Tie Blouse 2007 and I am lucky to have found two of these.  They come in all sizes fortunately.  Very versatile combo.

Visualize the old movie based on Wiliam Faulkner's book The Long Hot Summer - Mail Order 4579 Retro Starlet's Full Slip 1960's and this slip fits right in.  Wish I was wearing it right now - it's 113 degrees outside and getting hotter.  Truly a long, hot, summer.

 

Looking forward not only to visiting with our friends but having extra days off.  No listings until next Tuesday.  I won't be able to do any scanning this weekend until they leave and Monday will be a packing day.  I have some neat 70's to put in.  I recently purchased an order of 100+ mail order patterns from the 1960's and am excited to see them.  They are supposed to be all uncut - cross your fingers.

Featured new is Butterick 4540 Afternoon Delight Dress 1996 a definite eye catcher.  The contrast bodice is for stretch knits only.

Simplicity 1352 Hoity Toity Dress & Jacket / ca. 1955

 

Eye popping vintage Fifties pattern today for you:  Simplicity 1352 Hoity Toity Dress & Jacket / ca. 1955

 

Would this be considered an "Hourglass"style?  Very pretty dropped waist and seaming to hug curves.

 

Don't forget to check in Thursday for the coupon code starting on Friday.  A bunch of friends coming for a trip to the river and I'll be "off" from Friday until late Sunday.  I will send a newsletter out on Friday morning - oh or maybe Thursday nite depending on how behind I am!

Vogue 9476 Flared Caftan Dress or Top 1980's

 

Vogue 9476 Flared Caftan Dress or Top 1980's or maybe late 1970's it's hard to tell.  Not a big fan of the long or the short one but the middle one is "just right" - a neat "tent" dress.  My favorite type of fashion to wear on a hot day here in Yuma.  Let's the air flow - ahhhhhhh.  Makes me think of cruising a farmer's market or swap meet.  Cash & chapstick in one pocket, driver's license, checkbook & credit cards in another.  Keeping hands free to peruse the merchandise.

Promise to post daily - It will be a short week of today thru Thursday for listings and Friday taking off and having a long weekend sale too so stay tuned for posting on Thursday.  My readers will get 20% off instead of regular sale of 15%.  We are having company again to go boating at the river and can't wait.  We are hosting more people than before.  Guess the word got out how much fun we had - grin.

The featured new patterns are from the 1980's and I'm putting in both because they are so awesome I can't decide which is better.

 

 

 

Simplicity 9020 Priceless Wrap Dress & Jumpsuit 1989 - oh that dress is so luscious!  A very rare find indeed -

 

This era of Simplicity patterns have remained very sought after.  Not a fan of the jumpsuit but I'm not a fan of any jumpsuit.  Too much trouble to get in and out of - and I always think of things like using the bathroom and things like that.  Too practical LOL

Simplicity 9041 Awesome Wrap Bodice Dress 1989- do I need to even say anything?

Simplicity 8834 Zippy Blouse & Tank Top 1970

SALE TOMORROW THRU SUNDAY MIDNIGHT!  I will activate the coupon code HOTHOT at midnight tonite for 20% off all orders.  Nothing like an end of summer sale!  Get your fall and winter wardrobe going now

Simplicity 8834 Zippy Blouse & Tank Top 1970 is the featured vintage pattern.  Okay it's not an oldie moldie but I just like it.  It's just so standard yet so useable.  Plain tank top or overblouse or plain or fancy.  Single color or flowered - I can picture making a bunch of these at one time.

Wild ride on Wall Street this week.  So glad we are out of it now.  Couldn't take the stress anymore with the global economy so shaky too.  Now is the time to start making our own clothes and save on money for sure.  A financial guy I listen to alot mentioned last year that a business to get into was sewing because this was a direction people would go back to when the economy worsens.  Made my head pop up for sure.  Alot of my customers mention this is why they are looking for patterns so at least my business hasn't been suffering yet and hope that the positive trend for me continues.  Sigh -

 

On July 18th I posted the new featured pattern of McCall's 6958 and I had located a number of others in different sizes.  So if you liked it but it wasn't your size check again

Simplicity 6100 Sure Hit Front Wrap Top, Short Skirt & Wide Leg Pants 1973

Yes the SALE is starting on Friday so stay tuned for tomorrow's coupon code good for 20% off starting Midnight Thursday.

Simplicity 6100 Sure Hit Front Wrap Top, Short Skirt & Wide Leg Pants 1973 is the featured vintage pattern today.  It's a five out of five stars ***** for every piece of it.  I always think of these wide legged pants as "hostess" pants.

The featured new is McCall's 5628 Divine Crafty Tunic & Caftan 2008 which I swear I had another one a while back.  This is a hot selling one and even though it's only from 2008 it's hard to find.  If it's your "style" snatch it quickly.

Had a super weekend at the river with some friends.  Spent all day Friday and Saturday camped on a sandbar with a picnic lunch and lots of snacks.  Our friends had 3 jetskis and oh my gosh that is so fun.  It was a first time for me but having ridden motorcycles, quads and snowmobiles I felt quite at home and ripped around madly.  Here's a picture of my husband and of our "campsite"

















Featured new is:  Butterick 6576 Superb Blouson Dress Fit or Flared 1993 and the choice of skirt styles make it hard to pick which one to use.
