Things to keep in mind if you are thinking about purchasing a vintage sewing pattern online:
1. Is this an original pattern and not a copy? You will want to get an original pattern, especially with the envelope with artwork of the front and back of the finished product.
2. Are all the pieces there? You don't want to start cutting out your pattern just to find that you are missing a sleeve or waistband! Find a website that checks all their patterns to make sure they are complete.
3. Search for your bust, waist or hip measurements...not your current size. Sizes have changed so much over the past forty years or so. A size 14 today was not a size 14 several years ago.
4. Does the website offer any shipping discounts if you purchase more than one pattern at a time? Why stop at just one pattern when there's so many vintage sewing patterns to choose from.
These are just a few of the things your should remember when choosing your vintage sewing pattern.
