A great A-line dress from the 60’s … like the one “Jackie O ‘could have worn while in the White House. It may fit you or it may need to be taken a bit. The color is great, but such maybe a little discolored in places What’s this … a little hole … maybe a moth bite?

All of these things can happen if you choose to buy a used vintage dress from your local vintage store. I love vintage clothing and vintage stores, don’t get me wrong! I have spent my fair share of money at too many stores and property sales. Is there an easier way to achieve this same fabulous look? Perhaps a less expensive way to have the great look of this same 1960s A-line dress? I think I found a way to do it!

I choose to sew my own styles! Vintage sewing patterns are the way to go to get just what you want! You get to choose the fabric, color, trim and fit … and no moth bites! I know your next questions … where do you get the right vintage sewing pattern?

There are many different places where you can find vintage sewing patterns. I think the easiest way is to go online and do a search. There are many great dealers of vintage sewing patterns online. Prices can range from the most affordable to the most inaccessible, depending on the dealer and specific employer.

Things to keep in mind if you are thinking of buying a vintage sewing pattern online:

1. Is this an original pattern and not a copy? You’ll want to get an original pattern, especially with the front and back illustrated envelope of the finished product.

2. Are all the pieces there? You don’t want to start clipping your pattern only to find a sleeve or waistband is missing! Find a website that checks all of your patterns to make sure they are complete!

3. Find your bust, waist or hip measurements … not your current size. Sizes have changed a lot in the last forty years. A size 14 today was not a size 14 several years ago!

4. Does the website offer a shipping discount if I buy more than one pattern at a time? Why stop at just one pattern when there are so many vintage sewing patterns to choose from?

These are just a few of the things to remember when choosing your vintage sewing pattern!
