The other day, while out thrifting, I found a pile of patterns and proceeded to rifle through them, choosing which ones would follow me home. After finishing that up, I took a peek at the dress rack in the shop, to see if there was anything fabulous on it. Lo and behold, there was a very familiar looking dress there...
In fact, there was a pair of them.
I rifled back through those patterns I had just picked up, and found the match. It surely helped that the seamstress had taken the pattern illustration's color suggestion!
Have you ever matched a pattern to a vintage dress in the wild?
How funny! I've never found the two at the same place, though I have been able to match up garments with their pattern. I once found a maxi dress that had a swirled skirt with half of it red and the other half blue dotted fabrics. I later spotted the dress with the same fabrics on a designer Vogue.
