Vintage Dress Patterns

Vintage Dress patterns continue to be in popular demand, wether you collect the Vogue Couturier range, require a 1970s or 1980s party dress or just want to make a classic 1960's child's coat, with persistence you will find to right  pattern.  Currently some of the Vogue Couturier designs from the 1950's and 1960's can fetch over $100, but many other patterns are still very affordable.

Enjoy and happy sewing, Retro Chick

Vintage 1980's Dresses

It's taken some time but I'm finally finding some quality 1980's dresses to replace all those that have sold.  These dresses are both exceptional with net petticoats, loads of 80's features and quality construction

Alas my store at the bazaar is full so the dresses are for sale in our ebay Store

The beginnings of a Merivale Collection

I can still remember as a young girl standing in front of the House of Merivale and Mr John in Melbourne and wishing I could afford the lovely dresses and jackets on display.  My memories are from the early 90's and I remember a lot of black velvet and one of the most flamboyant shop window's in the city.

Recently I've started to collect Merivale and Mr John pieces, over time they will be sold but for now I just like knowing I finally own a part of this iconic design team.
