Custom Clothing from Vintage Patterns

All pictures are clickable thumbnails

Most of my designs are original or based on vintage patterns. Authentic vintage clothing is expensive, usually very small, often in poor condition and not exactly what you want. With vintage patterns, I can make you a truly authentic retro dress to your measurements and specifications.

I can only size some of these patterns up so far, however, due to the nature of their designs. Not all patterns are available to all sizes. Sizing up and down affects the price of each item, so email me if you'd like a dress and I'll give you an estimate.

Many of these designs must be lengthened or necklines raised. I'll specify how I will change these patterns around.
