I had a top like that, minus the ruffle on the bottom, that I absolutely loved. It was out of a light seersucker red and white print. Love this pattern. Great find. Love T
Ohhh the maxi dress is divine, so my thing. Popping by to say hi and thank you for having me in your blog roll. Hope you're having a great day.
All I can think is that I sure wouldn't be able to wear this pattern now. But, weren't they cute?
I defer to you about the model's name. You always know who they are. I find that amazing.
we found this pattern at a secondhand shop but it didn't come with instructions. Do you know where we might be able to get them? Thank you.
Anonymous: The only thing i can think of is that you would need to try and find another pattern on eBay or Etsy, one that is complete. I do not have this pattern any longer, so I'm afraid I cannot help you out. Good luck - it's a bummer when you buy a pattern that is incomplete! Most home sewers would put everything back into the envelope when they were done. I wish everybody did.
