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.
ReplyDeleteI bet you'll find it somewhere. Looks like a great challenge. Love the things you make!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteSuch a chic garment and hope you find a pattern to recreate it.
