I love this! I am terrible at figuring out what pattern would most closely match something I’d love to wear, so you can imaging finding the MTL page is like finding a sack of cash. Or something.

Thanks for using your Sewing Superpowers in the name of retro goodness!

I have always wanted the coat dress from trashy diva. This pattern is a good representation of it!

Oh I love this!! I love a good leopard print so this is right up my street! My last project were some Colette Clovers on leopard print. Thank you.
