Can anyone help ?

I am looking for instructions to a pattern "Butterick 5857 - Mary Quant Design."

Body suit & full length coat.

Wondering if I could obtain a copy of the instructions only.

 Mary Quant was the designer of the original 1965 Mini Skirt.

She still has an online shop and does a cosmetic & clothing range still influenced by the MOD era.

please contact me if you can help.

 

Thanking you kindly Viennasgrace of Etsy for supplying me with the

missing instructions for the above mentioned pattern !

How very kind of you x

The Party Dress ! Its Party Time !

Its the New Year 2012.

 You don't need new patterns to make that Party dress.

True style never goes out of fashion.

I have some inspiration for you on this very first day of the new year.

Simplicity 1679.
A very pretty & feminine bateau neck dress.
Slim fitting with  with detachable cummerbund.

Its available on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/86085179/vintage-1950s-party-dress-sheath

This is a more modern pattern. A princess cut dress, open neck line with
full skirt. I could see this for formal / cocktail parties.

darted bust.
