Burda Style For people who sew

Hello,

If anyone is able to suggest any patterns for this that would be great if not no worries…

I would like to attempt to make a 60’s/70’s inspired all in one jumpsuit, I’ve been seeing them a lot on the cat walk and in Topshop/Dorothy Perkins etc, there are some pics below. I want to make my own and style it up with some great fabric and accessories myself. All suggestions welcome

  look in you local op shop/ thrift store. There you will find allot of patterns from the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. I f they don’t have any then ask . my local op shop was throwing them out as they thought they were of no interest to anyone!

  Vogue8738 looks pretty cool. Sewingpatterns.com are selling vogue for $5.99 at the moment :-)

    Play suits are really similar to jump suits I think, I think they are just called different names. Have a look at the Vogue 8738 that Sewingfan1 suggested and see if it’s any good for what you are looking for

    Watch out with vogue 8738 though as it’ll need a bit of adapting as on closer look I think it’s actually a 2piece. Shouldn’t be too difficult to fit them together though I wouldn’t have thought. (-:

  Suede from Project Runway has a pattern for a jumpsuit with Simplicity. You could look on simplicity.com.
