I found this wee pattern online the other day - not sure when it's from (no date - argh!) but I'm guessing 40's/50's. It's not a branded pattern, so I can't figure out how I can pinpoint the exact date, sadly! Looks like it's a summer school uniform pattern - apparently it was from Auckland Girls Grammer School, according to the person selling it.
I'm looking forward to making it up - I think it'll be great as a pinafore dress for winter! :-)
I was also a bit naughty the other day when I went past my local fabric store (it's too close to where I work - I walk past it at least once a day, which is very dangerous for my budget and no-new-fabric New Years Resolution!) - they had all Vogue patterns at $12 each! (Which is quite a bargain since the vintage Vogue styles are usually around $33 over here!)
So I splashed out and bought these four. :-)
I've had my eye on a couple of these for a while, so pretty happy I now have them. I'm especially looking forward to trying that yellow blouse on the 1930's pattern - it'll be the first 1930's garment I'll have made!
