Vogue 6654
This was quoted as a 1940's pattern when I bought it and that was one of the reasons I went for it though it doesn't have the date anywhere on it. I would like to get the date confirmed but can't find it online so it is quite possible. The style and hair dos look 40s though which is positive. I don't think I would ever wear this but I would really like the challenge of making it. I love the pin tucks just not sure about the frills.Butterick 5033
This is a re-print of a 1952 pattern which I only bid on as I couldn't see it go for 99p! heehee! I wasn't going to buy any more 50's but I did and I love the necklines, they are very summery looking.

A free with a newspaper pattern but I had to have it as it is so sweet! I love the bib front and shirt under dress look and this is lovely! It is a few sizes too big fr me so I will have to have a go at grading it but I am game for this as it was cheap. It was also listed as 1970's but I think it might be more modern than that as the sizing is pretty much modern sizes, i.e. size 16 is a shop size 16 instead of smaller.
.................and now, my favourite pattern to date.....................

eeeeee Don't you just love it! I love everything about this! The big buttons, the off centre fold, the big skirt and the cute wiggle dress. I was so happy to get this one as I really love it! I believe it to be another 1950's patter, again no date shown. I love it when patterns come back in style and I can't believe how many 50's style dresses and prints I have seen recently. Hooray!
