1950′s sewing patterns
by missglamourpuss
The biggest problem in the daily life of a vintage goddess is finding new outfits. I’m not a big fan of current fashion trends and constantly run into issues while I’m trying to find new additions to my wardrobe.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the best way of resolving this issue is to buy a sewing machine.
I spent a wonderful day catching up with my dear grandma and she introduced me to her vintage sewing magazine collection. In every magazine she could point out several glamourous dresses and tell me what kind of fabric she used and what occasion the dress was made for.
Luckily she taught me how to use a sewing machine when I was about 3 years old and I’ve been fluent with one ever since.
She gave me all the 50′s and early 60′s magazines she had, and now I have patterns aplenty for my new glorious wardrobe.
I will be posting photos of the finished products as soon as I can find fabrics worthy of these fabulous designs…
Holy shit, I have been looking for the source of the that lace dress forever!
I have found a gal that does reproductions of it, but not at all well IMO, but I wanted to find the original.
If you wouldn’t mind contact me about it, I would love to either purchase it or the pattern used to create it (as I am an avid seamstress).
I know that this is an older post, but if you’re still posting on here, or are still wo(manning) this blog/site; I’d love to know if you happen to create any items that you sell?
This is absolutely gorgeous! You did a fantastic job on it, well done to you…
Shaunna – unfortunately, so have I
That was not among the patterns I acquired and I have been trying to find one myself ever since I saw that image online. I love it! I will let you know if I ever do find it.

Lucy Blue,
The lace dress above is not one of mine – it’s one of the inspirational photos I’ve collected. So I can’t take credit for it’s gorgeousness
In all honesty, I haven’t been sewing for a while. I’ve been wrapped up in another side project of mine that’s has been consuming all my free time.
Unfortunately sewing is very hard on my shoulders and longer inspiration bursts tend to end up in migraines – which has ensured that I’ve never been able to sit down and sew enough for other people to purchase.
