So, win the giveaway and these are yours. From top left in clockwise direction:
Maudella 1376, girl's pattern size 11-12 years. Still in cellophane. It looks like it would size up for a smaller person without too much trouble and it is super 60's cute!
Weigels 2702 - size 32 bust. Princess seamed dress with button through front. Super useful and versatile.
Maudella 5143 bust 38. Maternity smock and skirt. I really like the styling of the middle view, I reckon it would look good on anyone, expecting or not.
Maudella 5328 bust 38 wedding dress, probably late 60's. The instruction sheet is missing but it is a fairly self explanatory pattern and there is plenty of information online I am sure about doing lace overlays if you wanted to go with that look. (I found this pattern listed on ebay for 18 euros!) Funnily enough I think it is the only example I've ever seen of a vintage pattern where the cover art isn't as flattering as the dress would be on a real person!
Simplicity 5546 - size 14 (bust 34) Full skirted dress with detachable collar. A great early 60's pattern
So there you go - something for every age and stage!

My fave is the Simplicity with the full skirt, but it's a hard choice. I enjoy that wedding gown quite a lot too, and the green 60s sheath dress in the upper left.
ReplyDeleteWow Lauren that was quick! :) They'd all look cute on you, too!
ReplyDeleteThey are all lovely but the pattern I like the most is the simplicity one. I have some fabric that would be perfect but it may not be enough, that is a pretty big full skirt. It is gray and has other colours at the border so perhaps I could combine two different fabrics somehow? MadameO
ReplyDeleteHi there - I found your blog through Debi's Sew Grateful post. Thanks for the lovely giveaway (I'm having one too btw) - I like the Simplicity dress the best I think. I love that full skirted style,which suits my shape, and it would be a lovely summer dress.
ReplyDeleteHi Kestrel, welcome to my part of the blogiverse! I know about your giveway, I've entered it :) I love that pattern and the way you made it up!
Deletethe simplicity is fab but i would be happy to win any of them. ! Hi. I'm your newest follower. x
ReplyDeleteBoth the Weigels and Simplicity look so lovely! I'm also intrigued by the unusual companies
ReplyDeleteAll of the patterns look quite lovely but I'm in love with the Simplicity pattern. Perfect for all kinds of fabrics: solids or patterned. And the princess seamed Weigel seems also really nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I just love looking at vintage patterns, so even if you weren't giving any of these away, I'd still love this post.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick one as my favorite, I'd have to go with Simplicity 5546. I'm really drawn to the full skirted dress with detachable collar combo.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway :)
I am following your blog on Google reader now.
ReplyDeleteThat simplicity in the middle is DIVINE. I'd probably make it in green or without the collar in hot pink.
but so is the w 2072 I love buttons.
thanks for hosting!
I love the last simplicity dress, and I'd love to make the girls' pattern for my oldest daughter.

I definitely love the Simplicity 5546. It would be great in small scale plaid with a white collar trim.

I'm kind intrigued by the wedding dress. I feel like a modified version of this dress is very "en vogue" on the wedding circuit right now!

Fantastic giveaway, I treasure all my vintage patterns too much to part with them so well done! I think my favourite might be the top middle pattern (in all variations!) I'd probably make up a few in diffeent colours for summer, though the full skirt and the bow on the collar of the pattern below have caught my eye too...

Thanks!
I instantly started dreaming about making the simplicity dress in a novelty vintage print, but seeing as I just found out that I'm expecting, I think the smock would get a few makes!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Amy amym710[at]gmail[dot]com
Wow, a girl gets her beauty sleep and arises to find out there's a party going on in here! hehehe. It's interesting to see what people go for and how exciting we have a mum to be! Congrats Amy!
ReplyDeleteAnd yup that wedding dress is very en vogue, although styled VERY differently these days from in the picture, with the hilarious Pope hat headgear!
Lovely giveaway! I would love to make Simplicity 5546 in a piece of 60's fabric that I ve got from my grandmother. A perfect mariage I would say!!!
ReplyDeletePs my mailadress is sara_hoste@hotmail.com
These are just wonderful I love the simplicity pattern I would use a plaid cotton.
ReplyDeleteOoh la la! I like the top middle one, W2702, with the buttons and princess seam. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI like the Simplicity pattern - so pretty! And in my size! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Weigel's! Looking forward to following you!

ReplyDeleteOh, that Simplicity dress looks absolutely darling and I am very interested in the Maudella wedding dress ~ it looks pretty! I have the perfect fabric to make up the Simplicity 5546 though ~ it's a lovely white with navy flowers piece and I think it would look super cute.

I like the middle dress and the top right suit... <3
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this giveaway. I haven't come across Maudella patterns before but have a couple of cute Weigels patterns for girls that I've yet to make. I love that Simplicity 5546 pattern - I would probably make it in a floral cotton with a white collar.
ReplyDeleteI really like the simplicity dress. I think it would look great in a navi cotton.
ReplyDeleteOh cute! This is such a generous giveaway! I would definitely go with the Simplicity 5546 first, but they are all such fantastic patterns it would be hard to choose from!
ReplyDeleteI've never given a go at vintage patterns before, so this would be such an exciting prize for me to win! Thanks so much for participating in the Sew Grateful Week!
Hello from Brazil! So glad to have found your blog... loved the simplicity one, but any of them would be fab. Fingers crossed... my email is csebott@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLovely to see so many new names, while I am also off looking at new blogs. This week is amazing!
ReplyDeleteOoh...these patterns are adorable! I really can't just pick one favorite, as I adore them all! :)

Thank you so much for the giveaway. I'm really liking Simplicity 5546 which would fit perfectly and the Maudella 1376. Yes, I would have to size it up (as you suggest) although it does look like a fun pattern and in a very cute style. I think it would look good in a navy fabric with white trim for a nautical feel. Or in a lovely brocade fabric for something more elegant. I do like vintage patterns as they often have such beautiful details.
ReplyDeleteSimplicity 5546=too cute! I really like the patterned fabric on the cover, something black and white maybe? Keep it classic!
ReplyDeleteI actually kind of like the maternity one. It's a bit of a tent, but a cute tent!
ReplyDeletefollow via GFC & I would love to make Maudella 1376 for my daughter, maybe she'd even help me :) Thanks for the chance!

I love the Maudella 5143- it's such a cute pattern!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous patterns! I'd make most of them, but first up would be that Simplicity dress. That collar is just too cute to resist! I'd probably make it up in something similar to the pattern cover, actually - black and white gingham with red trim.

What a wonderful giveaway! Thank you! I'm going to stick with a pattern that's in my size & doesn't require any adjusting so would like to be entered for Simplicity 5546 - it is so cute. I am a sucker for red & blue florals, but I agree with Macska, it would look great in a plaid or gingham .....

I love the Wedding dress and the Simplicity dress came in a close second. I have no idea in what kind of fabric I would make them up and I don't really want to think about it yet. Otherwise I'm going to set my mind on it and have to find them online to buy them. I'm weird that way. :)
ReplyDeleteooh, what a brilliant giveaway. I would love to win the Simplicity 5546. It will be glorious to make and will look wonderful on me. I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWow what a lovely collection of patterns, I would love to make the dress with the detachable collar, beautiful, thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeletehowdy,
ReplyDeleteIn love with the Weigels 2702 pattern, a dress with buttons? I'm sold. I would probably make it in a nice polka dot pattern and add pockets, because I can't do without those.
and now that I see that pattern with a detachable collar, I may have to make a few up!
thanks so much
