DRAWING  MAY 10, 2022 - REGISTER TO WIN

Christmas in May - Cross Stitch Pattern Giveaway in honor of a lifelong "cross stitcher" and "crafter" Mary.  Her wonderful sister Karen was kind enough to pass along her collection of cross stitch booklets to Vintage Pattern Warehouse so that others may find the treasures they have been looking for.  I have selected some of the Christmas patterns to share with others.  I will pull a name out of a 'stocking' to receive 5 Christmas Cross Stitch pattern booklets shown below!  All you have to do is send me a message at denise@vintagepatternwarehouse.com and mention you would like to register for the drawing.  NO PURCHASE REQUIRED.  I will draw a name on May 10, 2022 and ship in plenty of time for you to start your Christmas projects this year.  You will also receive a "surprise" gift" with your patterns.  GOOD LUCK!

Due to a personal matter, I will be unable and unavailable to answer questions or ship items between April 15, 2022 and April 24, 2022.  You may still purchase items during this period, but shipping will only resume after April 24, 2022.   Thank you in advance for your understanding.  Denise

*As of April 10, 2022, shipping from my website has resumed to Australia and New Zealand.  However, due to the VAT tax requirements of shippers, I will be halting shipping to EU countries for the time being.  I apologize for this inconvenience and hope that requirements will be softened in the future.

Sincerely,

Denise

As of 9/3/2021, USPS has temporarily suspended First Class International Package Service to Australia.  I will not be able to fill orders to Australia until the USPS has resumed service for packages.  Please check back or write to me through the feedback page if you want to check for certain that service has resumed.  Thank you for your understanding.

PROPER CARE AND REPAIR OF VINTAGE INTIMATES

Blog Post by Denise St. James

If your closet or bureau drawer has a vintage bra or garter belt that you love and hasn't been worn in years because of a broken or stretched out strap, or a hose support that doesn't 'support' any more, you're not alone.  Many of us have favorite items that we just can't seem to discard, but when it's a vintage item that's not easily replaceable, we tend to hang on to those the longest.  

There are ways to repair all cotton bras and garters with vintage out-of-stock repair kits found on line.  These include replacement shoulder straps in 1/2" size or larger widths, cushion straps, original bra back extenders in two and three hooks, new 'sew-on' hose supporters and more.  Another great item is the nylon Shoulder Strap Guard which you pin to the shoulder seam of your dress near the neck (pin included), you then snap the ends around the shoulder straps of your bras to prevent slippage of your straps under a sleeveless dress.  No more tugging at the straps to stay in place.

These repair items and more can be found in the bra, garter and hosiery repair category brassiere_garter_repair

Once you have repaired these wonderful vintage intimates you want to either hand wash them or use a lingerie bag in the washer on gentle cycle.  This will ensure that your intimates will last for years to come.


Vintage Stockings and Nylons are a Must

If you're going for the authentic vintage feel of an outfit, why not invest in new old stock vintage stockings and nylons.  You can find sizes from small to queen from Christian Dior, Maidette, Shiaparelli, Big Mama, Underalls, JC Penney, Burdines, Footies, Hanes and more.


Vintage Sewing Patterns

Once you've refurbished your intimate bras and garter belts, you may want to add to your collection by sewing your own slips, petticoats, Hollywood inspired lingerie, bed jackets and more.  If you love the look of 1950's Sophia Loren inspired blouses, the 1960's Mad Men inspired wardrobes, or the 1970's Bohemian inspired Boho look, you have come to the right 'warehouse'.  Browse the 'aisles' and take a trip back in time.
