Vintage Butterick sewing patterns for ladies, men, children, costumes & crafts. We have vintage Butterick patterns for all types of fashions including dresses, blouses, skirts, pants, suits, sleepwear, crafts & costumes.
You're right, the designs really ARE simple. I was kindof disappointed in the 50s patterns (even though I bought two of them anyway), because they don't seem to offer some of those cool 50s details we find on the originals.

I have all of the patterns but not at the 99cent price. Good score for you Lauren! The 1946 one I have made and it goes together rather easy. I even made it into an evening gown or floor length in double crepe. I really want to make the Retro 56' Anthropologie had a similar dress in their summer selections in a white and water blue print. But it was over $200.00. I plan on making this one from my fabric stash. Love shopping in my own storage space. ?
When I was at Fancy Tiger Crafts in Denver, Colorado, I picked up the last of an incredible charming Japanese cotton lawn with little houses on it. Thinking of many vintage dresses with novelty patterns, I thought the cotton lawn would be a perfect match. The pattern is cut on the bias, and I thought the horizontal print would emphasize the bias cut nicely.
A (long) while back, the McCall Pattern Company reproduced and reprinted a series of Retro Butterick patterns. One of the Retro Butterick patterns I purchased is Butterick 6582 (1960s pattern) which I used to make the Edith dress. The other pattern I purchased is Butterick 5209, a vintage 1940's style dress pattern that was first printed in 1947. I chose it because I was smitten with the classic "New Look" silhouette and the fact that the sleeveless version of the dress looks so much like the famous white dress worn by Marilyn!Unfortunately, the sleeveless version of this pattern didn't fit me so well in the bodice area and I had to make a few modifications to make it stay close to my body. I shortened the halter neck strap, added elastic along the back, and even added boob pads on the bodice front so I could wear it without a bra. Yes, the slightly plunged neckline at the back makes the wearing of a bra tricky.And... worst of all, by the time I was done with the bodice, I realised that I didn't have enough fabric to make a gathered skirt like the original pattern. I must have forgotten to plan out the cutting of fabric or I just didn't get enough fabric - I don't remember which happened. Regardless, I solved the problem by making a half circle skirt instead. I am so happy that everything turned out just fine!Now that I have worn it for the first time, I am still feeling kinda iffy about the positioning of the boob pads. I might take them off and sew them on again, this time closer to the centre. And then, I'd be looking forward to wearing it again.. and again.. and again!!! xo
When I used this blouse pattern, # 5508, as an example of how vintage Butterick patterns could be dated using witness2fashion.com, I discovered four other interesting blouses on the same page of the Delineator, September, 1924.
And a 1920s Tricorne Hat PatternI associate clche hats from the Twenties with felt or straw, but several four-gore or six-gore Butterick hat patterns were available for the home stitcher, and could be made of wool, silk, velvet, etc.
Vintage patterns are a wonderful resource for researching vintage fashions and costume history, but very few pattern companies used to date their patterns. Butterick resisted dating its patterns for decades. My project is to make dating them easier for collectors and historians.
I have been working on this project for over a year, ever since I discovered that, in the 1920s and 1930s, there was a chart near the back of every Delineator, listing all the patterns illustrated in that issue. This was for the convenience of customers who wanted to order by mail. I have collected that information from over 150 issues, from January 1924 to March 1937, and published it for the use of vintage pattern collectors and sellers, and of course, for historians who need to track the development of styles.
Statistically, the chance of my finding two vintage patterns currently for sale on Ebay which date to the same issue of The Delineator was pretty small, but, incredibly, they also appeared on the same page. Even more amazing: by pure serendipity, I happen to have photographed the very page they appeared on just last week!
I knew I wanted to use a vintage pattern for this project. I used to sew from them all the time and kinda missed the challenge of making a totally different size work for me while scratching my head over the instructions. The search on Etsy is always the best part, and I stumbled over this pattern, Butterick 5119, designed by John Kloss. I have another John Kloss in my collection (I used it to make this dress and this dress) and I love his sexy disco designs for knit fabrics. The pattern was about 3 sizes too small, so when our patternmaker Celine had a slow day I asked her to grade it up for me. Knits are so simple to grade, especially when the pattern pieces are as simple as this one. Basically, we just added some width and length through the bodice and skirt. The bodice ended up a bit too long so I did end up recutting the shoulder and armhole to reduce gaping.
I ended up leaving the sleeve and skirt hem unhemed because this fabric doesn't unravel and I preferred how clean it looked. As for the ties, I made a facing for them so you never see the wrong side of the fabric. The instructions wanted them hemmed and stitched in place but it would have been very hard to get a nice finish around the curves. You really need to be a bit of a sewing Columbo when you're using vintage patterns, amiright? 2351a5e196
