I never used to pay much attention to them because I assumed they were the ugly stepsister of the pattern world, but there are some truly gorgeous ones! <br /><br />The major advantage of mail order patterns is that they are a lot easier to find in larger sizes. Good luck find a 40" bust from the 1940s from a major pattern company, but I come across them quite often in mail order patterns. <br /><br />I don't have any quite as gorgeous as that suit (be still my heart!) but you can see here that even up into the 70s they had some interesting things going on: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ZipZapKap/search?search_query=mail+order Katherine @ WeSewRetro.comhttp://wesewretro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-2704306655575964392012-09-12T04:47:53.729-07:002012-09-12T04:47:53.729-07:00What an absolute gem of a find!
