Authentic vintage sewing patterns: This is a fabulous original dress making pattern, not a copy. Because the sewing patterns are vintage and pre owned, we check each vintage sewing pattern for completeness, for the pattern pieces and the instruction sheet. Please keep in mind these are vintage patterns that may show their age not perfect in appearance but still very usable. In many cases the vintage patterns have never been used and are uncut and factory folded.

Perfectly charming dress created especially for the average-size miss – 5’ 4’’ or shorter – by famous Lentz Diminutives. This renowned house banished forever “alteration blues” in developing the true-to-you fit. Pattern A853 is designed to mold your figure beautifully across the bosom, nip-in your waist and frame your hips. You won’t have a fitting worry in the world! Best of all, you’ll own an Original from one of America’s finest designers – Lentz Diminutives, noted for subtle handling of fabrics and unusual details. See how the bodice is curved to flatter the bosom and minimize the waist. The neckline is cut low above a skirt that’s softly gathered in front, all smoothness in back. Choose a gleaming tissue faille, shantung or acetate for this design.A Lentz Diminutive by Alan Phillips
