Ever watched a 1940s themed movie and loved a certain dress worn by a character in it only to find that it was in style more than 100 years ago? If the answer is yes then you are probably an admirer of vintage clothes. People like Ellen Demorest have made it possible to recreate old clothing styles by introducing reproduction vintage clothing patterns on Neoprene Fabrics. If you know how to sew you can buy them and sew that dress you saw in the movies, if not you can pay someone else to do it for you using those patterns.

They can be used by both professional tailors and newcomers in the fashion industry since they are very easy to use. Those that were made by Ellen were made of tissue paper, but later with the advancement of technology, they became available in printable formats. They can be bought online or at clothing stores or marketplaces.

Patterns made from paper can be fragile and they may tear and wear if not handled with care, especially if they have been used by someone else before. Making copies of the pattern and using them to cut out clothing pieces will prevent them from wearing out quickly. Buying an online pattern prevents this problem as a whole because it will be saved as a soft copy.

It is not difficult to find where they are sold because they are everywhere. Paper tissue patterns are sold as second-hand personal goods at yard sales and antique show by old seamstresses. New printable patterns are either found from online stores or physical stores which sell old-fashion styled clothing. They may also be found at some online clothing blogs.

For those who hate travelling to shops, there is an option of buying them online, websites like eBay have a variety of beautiful patterns. The amazing thing about technology is that it now allows people to reproduce patterns themselves using computer software and applications like CAD and Pattern Master Boutique together with Photoshop. These graphics programs enable people to design and produce pattern pieces which are printable.

So you bought the patterns, what s the next step? To use them to make a dress of your dreams. But first, you will need few materials to aid with the process, namely: two rulers, one curved and one straight, pattern weights, scissors, pencils and erasers. If you are going to be tracing them then you ll need a long and large paper together with an iron.

There are several types of papers used for this. The tracing paper is the most usable one because it is clear. Then there is a wrapping paper, this one will be very difficult to see through it while tracing the patterns. The last one is the dot paper, it is very easy to use and found very cheap. The paper has to be ironed first and then tracing will begin ending with sewing.

Not everyone will want to buy papers and spend time tracing patterns, some use the patterns as they are, and others print them from their computers.
