I know the numbers are bigger numbers with vintage ones but I am not sure if modern sizes are half the number(like would I wear a 16 if I am a 8)? Thanks for the help and tips!!! :)<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13436633452180943193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346960377543157190.post-89472812957199463732013-07-15T10:39:36.995-04:002013-07-15T10:39:36.995-04:00Wow, this is one of my favorite of your dresses!

No, I don't fi...Aww...thanks so much, Miriam! <br /><br />No, I don't find the vintage sizing hard to work with at all, in fact, I find them easier than modern to work with. Why? Vintage sizing tends to fit me with little to no adjustments, while modern pattern sizing just gives me headaches (except for the Simplicity Project Runway line, which fits me perfect). When working with vintage patterns I would start off with something kinda like mine (with a full skirt, yet more fitted bodice), that way you would just have the bodice part to worry about fitting. Also, if you use a full skirt pattern, you don't need a pattern piece for the skirt. Just cut out three panels of fabric for the perfect full skirt, as it works for me every time.Bramblewood Fashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867338837999400697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346960377543157190.post-68652961156759552772013-07-14T22:58:23.781-04:002013-07-14T22:58:23.781-04:00Ohhh I love it!
