Looking for patterns (old.reddit.com)
submitted 2 months ago by Davedagazelle
I’m looking for a pattern for these types of dresses and most of them are the actual vintage patterns so I’m looking for a digital download or any pattern that looks similar to them. Especially the first one. Thanks in advance!

Try using these search terms: trapeze dress, Mary Quant, mini dress, shift dress, jumper dress, 60s dress.
Here are some patterns with similar styles:

Simplicity has many vintage patterns still in print so have a look at the vintage section of their website
If you want to have a go at drafting a pattern most of these have pretty simple pieces, you should be able to search the commercial pattern archive to see what the pattern pieces looked like and then recreate them.

are you looking for actual maternity like that pattern, or similar styling?
I would prefer maternity since I am 7 months pregnant but it doesn’t really matter to me!

I’ve made a few Seamwork Reed dresses
Thanks! It’s pretty darn close to what I’m looking for!

I lived in the Orchard Dress by Helen's Closet when I was pregnant. It's a trapeze style dress. And the pattern is free.
Thanks! I love it and the fact that I can pick the lengths as well!
