love the old patterns, some of them would be very wearable today, surprising how fashions always come back round.

Such a gorgeous style they had. What a pity I'm not a big sewer and I will never fit in those clothes in absence of a wasp waist. I have the wedding jacket from my godmother from the 50ies but I'm much too fat for it. So it hangs in my wardrobe as a sweet memory to her (she died 2 years ago).
Greetings, Bettina

What a lovely collection of memories you have, thanks for sharing. The patterns are still in great condition. Such style in the dresses - surely they will return into fashion. Looking at them sure brings back some memories for me.

I have a couple of those old children's patterns. It is interesting the way the markings were in those days, especially the ones you ordered from the newspapers. AND the instruction sheets are very basic. You surely had to know exactly what you were doing. It wouldn't be too easy to teach yourself.

Thank you for sharing, isn't it wonderful to see the care that went into clothtes in days gone by? There are many styles I would still wear today---if I was to go somewhere that is.! haha And, the prices of the patterns are a far cry from what we pay today! Our great grandparents , grandparents and parents would be shocked by the prices ( and a lot of other things I'm sure) .
