The Vintage Vogue Search

In March of last year Pattern Junkie posted over at Sew Retro about the Vintage Vogue Pattern Search.

I always believed that Vogue had some magnificent archive of patterns, and just pulled gorgeous vintage patterns from it to be reissued. Well, apparently that is not the case at all. They DO NOT keep a pattern archive! Isn't that sad?!

When I heard about the pattern search I knew exactly which pattern needed to be reissued.

Vogue 4743, of course.

I submitted an email and I snail-mailed in a scan of the pattern also. A few weeks later I got the email that my pattern was chosen! How exciting!!

Well, just this morning I received another email that they will be available in the Summer catalog and online right now!

So here it is...

Vogue 8729 is now available to everyone!

It's mine, all mine!

This was my dream wedding dress. Even with help from Erin at Dress A Day

and the lovely ladies at Pattern Rescue, I didn't locate it in time to make my wedding gown.

I LOVED my wedding dress! I was able to come up with something just as wonderful. But Vogue 4743 was never forgotten.

And a couple weeks ago it turned up on eBay!

Now it's mine and I can't wait to make a party dress out of it.

I just need a fabulous party to go to...
