I spotted these 2 free PDF patterns via the V and A museum website.

I like the look of the Georgie dress myself.

Sorry, if this has already been posted elsewhere, I searched but couldn’t find anything.

I haven't seen these, but if they are original dress copies, beware that they had very tight armholes.

I don’t think they’re the original patterns but new ones based on her original designs, because it says they have been created for the V&A exhibition by Alice &Co. patterns. So on that basis, I imagine they’re using current standard measurements...?

I like



and will download the 'copy shop' pdf.

I was supposed to go to and see Quant on Saturday but because of the march, decided against it.

I went to the Quant exhibition and loved it -very nostalgic!
I have learnt by my mistakes: Sewing machines now are Bernina 720, Bernina 1008, Bernina 801 from 1981, Brother overlocker, ancient but works well
