Today’s giveaway sponsor is Sew Chic Pattern Company. With more than forty years of sewing experience (including for television and movie costuming), Laura Nash brings a high level of expertise to her pattern making and it shows. The vintage styling and attention to detail make them stand out from the crowd. There are 20 patterns in collection, including dresses, skirts, tops and accessories. Sew Chic will be giving away three patterns to today’s winner!
Here are just a few favorites:
The Pretty Petticoat is one of those wardrobe staples you didn’t realize you needed until you had it. I use my petticoat all the time to go underneath dresses – it really makes them look special. And wouldn’t it be fun to see a pop of color on a bright petticoat underneath a dress? I’m thinking I might make a hot pink one.
The Ehlen Blouse is another great wardrobe possibility. I especially love the cut-out on the sleeve and the button detailing. This would be great to wear with a pencil skirt.
The Pendleton is a class retro-inspired dress is a fitted style with an assymetrical neckline. Available in 3/4 and bell sleeves, this pattern gives several options for customization.
The Tia Dress is my very favorite of the bunch. This is a very fun style that would be great made up in your favorite quilting cotton print. The trim on the bodice is echoed in the pockets and also at the hem of the skirt.
And Fifth Avenue is quite a classical and elegant style. This would be great to wear to a wedding or other formal event.
I adore the style of the 50s. Really loving these patterns!
I love the 80’s clothes 🙂
love the 1880s
Definitely the 50s. So classic and chic! Thanks for the giveaway!
Love the 1920s style!
I don’t think I could pick a favorite period. I kinda love all clothing.
I love the 50’s.
I love 50s dresses!
I love the ’80s! 1880s, that is. I’m a theater person. Victorian bustles make me happy!
Every period has its ups and downs, but I’m loving the flapper 30’s. Gatsby elegant.
Such talent!! I love the look of the vintage style clothing. They are all so feminine.
I love the cut out sleeves on the blouse pattern above. Great detailing. Anything ’40s style catches my eye, so I’ll have to wishlist a few Sew Chic patterns. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the 50’s style dresses, although not super practical nowadays (for my lifestyle at least), they were lovely,
I love 50s style fashion, especially the dresses.
My favorite is the 50s.
60’s! so easy to wear
I love the 60s and 70s. The recent season of Mad Men is full of eye candy!
I love the 50s. Sadly my wardrobe does not reflect it nearly enough! I must, MUST rectify this. 🙂
Early 60s!
The 50s!
My daughter is into the 50’s dress style and would love your Tia Dress.
I love the dresses from the 20s.
Love the dresses and am plotting with regards to that slip. Do I currently own ANYthing that would go over it. If not, my wardrobe is flawed. It’s a good thing its an early WIP and I can fix it. Thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite era’s are the 50’s and 60’s.
I’m just so glad the 90’s are over. :/
Love the 50’s although I can never seem to convince myself to wear them these days.
What fun those patterns would be to make!
Forgot to add, I love the 70s!
I love 40s and 50s style. But I don’t wear those styles as often as I wish I did. I have been wanting a couple of those dresses Sew Chic, but was waiting until I had the time before I purchased. I guess winning would make it happen sooner rather than later!
I really love the versatility we have in the modern era to dress as we wish with all the options of history available to us, but the fit and flare of the 50’s really suits me 🙂
I just love all the shown patterns and that petti-coat is to die for. Great to have for a couple of prom girls! 😉
Favorite Era? The 30’s. The ingenuity of people to make do with what they had during one of the great depression still amazes me. Nothing went to waste.
I’m currently having a love affair with the 30’s.
I love Laura’s patterns and the 50’s is my favorite decade.
All decades have something that appeals to me, but I have to say the 50s are my favorite.
I love the 50’s!
The 50’s style.
I love them both!
The 50’s rock!
I love any and all of Sew Chic’s patterns and designs! Would love to win her patterns!
Because of the more comfortable relaxed styling, i prefer the 60’s.
I like some 40’s, just about all of the 50’s and some 60’s (early 60’s). That Tea Dress pattern is super cute!!
The 40’s and 50’s please. Love these patterns! Thanks for introducing me!
I love the mad men era – what is that? 50’s?
Fifties!
I don’t know the eras well enough to say. I just know it when I see it.
The 20s! Such style!
Sew Chic patterns are new to me, but I am loving them! I really like the tailored look of the Pendleton and the Fifth Avenue. I’m not s great clothes sewist, but I’d love to give them a shot!
Gorgeous patterns! I love the 1950s styles
Favorite era is the early 1940s. See Chic patterns are wonderful, thanks for a great giveaway!
I love the 50s!
I would say I like the 50s the most
I definitely prefer the 1950’s. They were so classy and elegant! Once fashion began transitioning into the mid to late ’60’s it became too modern for my taste. Early ’60’s still had enough of the previous decade’s influence to earn my approval.
I like the 50’s styles, especially the dresses.
The 50’s
Love the 50s
I love anything with a corset, late 1800s early 1900s. Not that I make or wear these items. I would love to be able to wear the 50s fashions, but my bust to waist ratio doesn’t allow that look to be flattering.
I thought the women looked so elegant in the 1940s!
I think you can find something fun from any time period (except maybe the 90s haha). I really really love the 50s though.
The 50s! And, I agree with Joelle. The 40s were so very elegant as well.
The 50’s are my favorite, followed by the 20’s.
I think I like the 50’s the best, but I hadn’t really thought about it before! :}
They both have some aspects that appeal, but probably the 50’s!
I love the 50s, but am beginning to appreciate the 40s more too.
Recently, I’ve realized I’m loving the 1940’s details.
they are all so pretty!
I like the styles of the 40s and 50s, so elegant with classic details.
I love the look of Art Deco and bohemian, so maybe the 20’s and 30’s. But to wear, I’m definitely 70’s jeans and t-shirts. I can’t remember the last time I wore a dress just because.
Absolutely beautiful patterns. The urban 50s looks are my favorite.
I love 40’s and lingerie from the 30’s
I love all period pieces but especially the 50’s!
I love a l little something about each decade pre 1980 but my heart belongs to the 40s.
LOVE any thing from the 1950’s/early 60’s.
Classicly clean and chic. Love them all!
I love more classic looks! I’d probably say the 50’s.
Got to be 50s – love the fabrics too x
I love 40s and 50s styles. They suit my curvy 23yo DD very well.
I love the 40s and 50s. Someone at work told me the other day that I had a ‘vintage vibe’ & I was thrilled to bits.
I am a product of the 50’s so I have a special connection with the 50’s styles.
I like 50’s. My mother’s era.
50’s, but I do like some 60’s too.
It’s a tossup between the 40’s and the 50’s!
I love the 50s fashions, but for everyday wear I tend to stick with the simplicity and practicality of the early 40s.
Probably 50s because the fit and flare flatters my figure the most
My current favorite is the 70’s!
I’d have to say the 20s/30s resourceful yet stylish!
I love the fun dresses from the 50’s!
That Ehlen top is amazing!
I think I like 50s. The clothes were still feminine.
I love the fullness of the 50’s skirts and dresses. They are just so dang twirly!
I love anything from the 20s-60s though the 50s are the most flattering for my body so it’s what I see most.
