“New” Rockabilly Patterns

I love Rockabilly. I love the music, the hair, and the clothes, or more specifically, the dresses. I love the full skirts, especially when it hits below the knee, worn with heels. Gorgeous.

Well, this weekend I listed uncut and complete patterns from the 1950’s. True Rockabilly fashion ready for a crinoline. Here’s a sample:

Vintage 50s Simplicity 2333 Junior Rockabilly Dress Size 13 Bust 33

Vintage 50s Simplicity 1213 Sleeveless Rockabilly Party Dress Pattern Size 12 Bust 30 Waist 25 Uncut Complete

Vintage 50s Simplicity 2033 Misses' Dress Rockabilly Size 12 Bust 32 Uncut Complete from 1957.

Just the right dresses for dancing to Buddy Holly and cruising with your honey.
