A short post...
The other day a fellow blogger mentioned Vivienne Westwood and I happened to say I liked the Anglomania Sunday Dress. Literally five minutes later, and purely by chance (I was looking for something entirely different) I came across this pattern:
Yes yes, I know it's not the Sunday dress but just look at the loveliness of it.
And here is a BRILLIANT version:

This top (the Westwood one at the top of my page) is the Anglomania Atlantis Sunday top. And now that I've found a great pattern to recreate it (yes, okay, I bet I'm the last blogger to know about this pattern) I find it's blooming well out of print. Out. Of. Print.
What can I say? I'm still hyperventilating over it. I may have to order it from the States - I know I've seen it available somewhere.

Hope you manage to find the pattern, it's brilliant! I've not seen that one before either. Best of luck with the search.
I bet you'll find it somewhere. Looks like a great challenge. Love the things you make!
I made this top too, with the same changes described in the Very Prairie blog -- the results are fabulously edgy and fun. When I decided to make mine, the pattern was already out of print. I set up an alarm on eBay and waited about a half year before someone posted one for sale. This might work for you too. Good luck and I hope to see your version!
Such a chic garment and hope you find a pattern to recreate it.
