One of my preferred websites for vintage patterns is www.lanetzliving.com. Janet, the owner, is very helpful. She is in the US and has a good selection of patterns--including knitwear, crochet and needlework--going back to the 1920's. Vintage patterns in larger sizes are a little harder to find. Most of the patterns from the 1940's that I have seen were from companies that no longer exist: Advance, DuBarry and Hollywood among others.
I remember reading somewhere that the Vogue reproduction patterns have been resized the same way that Simplicity's have. Joan _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
