BUT NOT WHITE STUFF!!

Also no boden or fat face, would like fairly fitted ones possibly tea dress style but not too loose under the bust, hate feeling like I'm wearing maternity clothes, don't mind florals and quite like a vintage look.

Any ideas?

Cath Kidston and Vivien of Holloway do a 1940s tea dress/shirt dress style if that floats your boat?

Can you sew? The reason I ask is that I would thoroughly reccomend Kay Whitt's patterns.

How about this or this? Are they the kind of thing you are looking for? the great thing about her patterns is that you can get lots of variations out of each pattern and of course use whatever bonkers/sensible fabric your want. She is from the USA, but good fabric shops in the UK stock the patterns.

Liking the Torii Tunic shelscrape - have you made this?

And what size is equivalent to a size 10 for these patterns?
