I'm NOT a seamstress but thankfully my mom is.  I'm looking for a comfortable, feminine dress pattern that's chaste yet pretty. I like longer, fuller skirts. Basically think Laura Ingalls, Anne of Green Gables type stuff. Anybody know where to find a pattern like that? If it's simple enough I might try to make it but otherwise I'll be sending it up to my mom!  I also want to find some summer type dresses even sundress type patterns that have a vintage look to them. Any idea where to find such patterns?
Thanks for the help!

I have found many such patterns doing STUMBLE. If you do the stumble and when it asks you to fill out your interests put in sewing. I have found lots of dress, skirt, apron, bags etc. Just stumbling.
Thoughts are things choose the good ones. |

Karla - Thanks I'll take a look! Philippians 4:13 is one of my favorite verses, gotten me through some tough times.
Gracy - What is STUMBLE?

There was an ad somewhere (I think it was an MJF magazine actually) that had vintage patterns www.sovintagepatterns.com. I can't help much - I just look in Simplicity or Vogue or Butterick & go from there lol. Hopefully you can find something that works for you!

I googled "vintage sewing patterns" and found lots of great resources for old patterns of every type, including the styles you asked about.

Call me stupid, but, I have never heard of "Stumble". HAHA Where have I been? Philippians 4:13 has been my favorite for many years. It has gotten me through a lot of tough times also.

Hi Kim, I've bought a couple of patterns from this company, the big pocket jumper and the my favorite dress pattern are comfy and nice looking, and they have a bunch of others that you may like as well.
I love longer style dresses too !
