ModernVintagePattern

Featuring vintage and retro patterns from the past. When choosing a pattern, be sure to choose based upon YOUR BODY MEASUREMENTS and not your dress or pants size. For dresses and tops, use your bust measurement. For pants and skirts, use your waist measurement. If you need to adjust the rest of the pattern, simply taper in or taper out accordingly. You can search patterns in my shop by decade, bust size, pattern company, or clothing category (ie. dress, blouse, pants, skirt, etc.) Just type the keywords into the Etsy toolbar at the top of this page.

I have personally gone through every single pattern in my shop and checked to see that all of the pieces are there. All of the pattern listings will describe whether the pattern is uncut, altered, used, and if any pieces are missing. (Though I don't usually list incomplete patterns, sometimes I find one that's such a gem that I can't resist hoping that someone will want it anyways - using their creative skills to craft a new piece). Listings will also describe what kind of shape the envelope is in. My home is 100% pet-free and smoke-free.
