Vintage patterns - 1980s

And finally, vintage 1980s dress patterns. I have to say this is my least favourite era, probably because it was the one I grew up during. Indeed, it makes me feel very old to realise that so many people now consider the 1980s to be 'vintage' (using the so-called '30 year' rule). I'm not sure that there are any of these I'm intrested in trying to reproduce at this point - but who knows, give it another ten years and I may feel different about the matter (probably at the point that I'm shuddering about the fashions of my teens in the 1990s being considered vintage...)
