I have an unused reproduction pattern for a 36 inch bust, 40 inch hips (produced by The Vintage Pattern Shop) of this 1940s bra, slip and knickers to give away. The draw is open from now, Thursday evening, until midnight Feb. 14th UK time.
If you are interested just leave one comment below and on Saturday afternoon (UK time) I’ll do a random draw and announce the winner and pop it in the post next week.
I’ve been collecting vintage lingerie patterns and magazines with their original free patterns for a couple of years now and have a nice little collection growing. Also I finally started making a photo record as I have bought duplicates a couple of times now!
Here’s a little show-off of what I’ve got so far ( I’m particularly pleased with my Weldons magazines; it was the one with the pink cover and eau de nil lingerie that opened my eyes to these as collectables) :
That’s all until the draw 🙂
Hi there, Not sure if this is open to those in the U.S. but if it is please count me in! Those are some fantastic patterns! Thanks for sharing them with us.

Oooh I have been looking for just this style pattern. My problem would be wanting to do it in every single fabric possible!
Wow, love your collection, vintage undies are so lovely. Thanks for the chance to win
Oh, what a gorgeous pattern! Love it! Thanks for the chance to be in to win. 🙂 I’ve got vintage patterns for slips, but nothing like this in my collection!
I love these classic styles – all the glamour without the tackiness.
I’ve been fancying making underwear for a while now. If your freebie arrived in my post I’d be spured on to start. Wish me luck…. Love your blog by the way!
Beautiful! Would love to try these.
Love your blog.
Ooh! What a sweet giveaway! Vintage lingerie is my favorite of all things! <3
This is such a fabulous giveaway! Thank you for the opportunity to ‘share the love’… and as so many others have commented, the pattern is perfect size! (And isn’t eau de nil a wonderfully evocative and nostalgic colour name: my mother bought me cotton fabric for my first high school sewing class many years ago and the matching thread was Coats eau de nil: my 11 year old self was thrilled by the ‘exotic’ reference and the this shiny thread…)
