I love this pattern! Simplicity 2585 Bound to Impress Dress with Two Skirts / ca. 1958 - especially the "sheer" bodice version. Lovely trim around neckline with matching trim following the buttons looks very slimming. A good find for me to pass on to you.
The "two skirts" patterns are very popular. I can see why - it would be hard to pick which one to use - so of course both can be made. Handy!
What an out of this world pattern this is: Vogue 8578 Square Necked "Grace Kelly" Dress 1955 - totally a Princess Grace style.

A few 30's patterns located lately and here is the one I put in today:
I'm always pleased when pattern pieces are in such nice condition as with this one.

It's another one with two skirts - the fuller one makes me think of more casual outings but the slim one says smart!
Brace yourself! Butterick 5740 Summer Evening Cocktail Party Dress 1950's a scarce sexy movie star dress that even today they try to reproduce it but nothing compares to the original.

Very rare pattern - very sought after too.
For "new" patterns I will start with : Burda 8880 Corporate Haute Jacket & Skirt 2000's which is very edgy looking to me. The long skirt rocks.
Only a few from today jumped out at me. I did find another of one that I listed last month but in a different size. Since it is very summery thought I would link to both of them:
There's alot you can do with this pattern!
