If you've been reading my blog long enough to have read this and this, then you know its about the time of year for me to start flipping out about sweater dresses. In my search to add to my collection, i often come across vintage knitting books and patterns which provide lovely images of dresses i just WISH i could find. so i thought i would share some:
side note: I love vintage models that evoke this joyful and confident attitude. todays models tend to look so sad.
well, the sweater is just okay, but i love her hair!
some 1960's and 70's knits
Wow
Chic
Sailor Knits
And isn't this barbeque mitt stunning? okay, i'm kidding :)
This woman, her pose, and her dress altogether take my breath away.
thanks for reading,

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the fourth dress from the bottom. I'm getting better at knitting sweaters. One day I'll embark on a dress. FYI your not the only one who can't find knitted vintage dresses. I've trawler the Internet and thrift stores and come up with nothing that will fit me. One day.....
