Look at my new Vintage Patterns - 1980s Fancy Lady Edition

A friend of my mother's gave me her old patterns (look here for the cute kid's stuff) so I thought I'd ensure you can all marvel at them.

There are some gems of the 1980s here:

We start with these ladies from 1985 Vogue who have definitely not killed their husbands

Then quite a nice wrap dress from Vogue Americana. i love when they do both an illustration and a picture

Then some Dior, not my favourite

This Givenchy Suit is A Look at least, particularly with the hat

And then this Nina Ricci dress which is just A Lot. I feel like I'm looking at a nightgown. However, there is a gem hidden in this pattern!

You get a little Vogue label to sew on your clothes! Just to prove that you are wearing Vogue or something. It's a very scratchy label , which makes it even funnier. I just love it

#the fact that the other vogue patterns have the label printed on the back but no label in it #suggested the others were actually sewn into clothes to make them wors e #which matches what i know of the lady who gave me these #a talia original #excerpts from my life #vintage sewing patterns #patterns from the past #i will keep these safe #and if i ever make a friend wildfor 80s fashion #i have the perfect gift #it really annoys me that not all patterns have a year on them #maybe i should start annotating my modern patterns for future generations #i know have a pattern magazine from the 50s #one from the 60s #one pattern from the 70s #and these from the 80s #presumably i have 90s patterns as well #considering i started sewing in 2008 and not all my patterns were new #this pleases me #if you'd like to see more of these patterns lmk
