The power of old patterns is the silhouette, most retro patterns lack the authenticity of silhouette. For those who appreciate vintage clothing, a vintage pattern can be the key to creating a fine piece of clothing.
REGARDING:
These are originals, not copies. They belong to a large collection of daywear patterns that I have carefully checked and repaired as needed, making them ready for you to create new nostalgic clothing. I have redrawn any missing pieces where possible. I use archival tape for repairs. After pressing and folding, I store the patterns in archival sleeves or bags to prevent further deterioration.
SEWING ASSISTANCE:
Message me, if I can be of any assistance, in regards to understanding and recreating these vintage patterns. For instance, altering the size or sewing techniques that are difficult to understand, etc.
SHIPPING:

there is a darling cuff diy in the blog that would fit the short-sleeve style really well.
