I am a size 20 in RTW I am realistic about my size i do not like my clothes tight, I see all of these nice vouge patterns but they do not come in my size so I pass them by , But I went to the Good Will and saw a lot of NICE pattens they were not my size they were 12-14-18 but for .33 I could not pass them up . So these vintige patterns when you alter them how many muslins or fitting do you have to have to get them to fit correctly?<BR/>Thanksbarbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-57652287935359792012009-04-08T12:58:00.000-04:002009-04-08T12:58:00.000-04:00The yellow dress is just lovely... looking forward...The yellow dress is just lovely... looking forward to your version.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688900287732221253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-77483374671418785182009-04-08T11:31:00.000-04:002009-04-08T11:31:00.000-04:00I can see why you like Sybil Connolly patterns!

I have a great coat pattern of hers- Vogue 1521. The details are just incredible given some of today's ultra plain lines. She also did a line for Tiffany's in the 70's. You can get little china boxes, plates, cups and bowls on ebay sometimes. It was called Mrs. Delaney's Flowers. Sooo, I'm not the only one who can sit and read a 30 or 40 year old guidesheet like it's a novel? Glad to hear it!<BR/>MargueriteMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395228631699632403noreply@blogger.com
