Retro Sew

A guest post here of two retro sewing patterns I bought. These are original patterns but sized up for the modern woman. One of my reasons for making my own clothes was because I love vintage, but they are often only in small sizes. I think these are both maybe late 50s/early 60s designs, an era I favour. The top is quite easy (great prints) but with an unusual French dart and the dress looks fiendish but irresistibly glamorous....
