I'm always attracted to vintage or retro looking clothes and I was wondering if you actually owned these patterns (a pattern from the 1940's must cost a fortune..) or if you just figured it out by looking at the picture. Your work is inspiring and I'd love to hear more about how you made this dress :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-37730802926429605602011-08-04T03:17:05.137+01:002011-08-04T03:17:05.137+01:00I adore this!
