Vintage Lanvin Designs from the 20s and 30s

A little vintage Lanvin from the 20s and 30s to inspire you -- from this hardcover book above.

It's all so girly, I love it!

Love the editorial nature of these photos, and the vintage heirloom quality of the final few.

Vintage Winter Capelet

It would be easy enough to recreate the pattern of this vintage capelet. Maybe even adding a more elaborate closure.

Vintage wedding dress patterns

I love these. It's amazing how patterns so old can look so fresh. I especially like the covered sleeves. Everything I see in the stores with sleeves these days looks either frumpy or dated.
