Vintage dress patterns from my mother in law



My mother-in-law gave me three dress patterns while I was visiting. These two she made for herself when she was younger. Aren't they great? I especially love that tent dress/housecoat pattern.





And then look at this one. She got it for me at a flea market. Awesome necklines and wasp waists. I so want one of these dresses.

    My wasp waist is long time gone, and even Sherlock Holmes cannot find it again.
    What you call housecoat, we used to call arm-apron.
    Every housewife would have have rich selection in the 50ies till mid sixties.
    I'm looking forward to see the results of your sewing creations.

    I'm at the stage that a house coat would be a welcome and comfortable clothing option .. along with an apron of course. The tent one might be perfect .. the wasp waist would not be a good fit.

I thought Word Verification would be enough to discourage spammers, but evidently not. So I'm turning on Comment Moderation for awhile to see if that helps. Please don't be deterred from leaving real comments. I love them!
