At least, if I'm not mistaken. Good luck with that; there are always 60s dress patterns in charity shops near me so I'll keep a look out for you. x x x It’s TWIGGY! At least, if I’m not mistaken.

I'm not exactly Kaptain Krafty so I can't advise you on where to find patterns, If you're looking to do something different have you ever looked into making duck tape clothes/accessories?

If you want patterns try charity shops (thrift stores) in small towns. Especially places where most of the stock comes from people clearing out their grannies' attics. Original 60s patterns aren't hard to find - I have some, but expect the directions to be scanty and READ the measurments in the sizing. A 60s 16 can have a 27" waist. You can find them on ebay too but that's more pricey. There were also lots of dressmaking handbooks published around then with directions on drafting a basic pattern. Bear in mind that most mod dresses are variations on a very basic a line mini dress and that a basic pattern or directions on how to draft it are readily available. Can't wait to see the results. Oh and fabric stores sell jersey fabrics but mostly in single colours. For the stripey dress I would get the largest mens t shirt I could find.
