60s fashion sewing patterns

As I've been going through all of my vintage patterns and posting them for sale over at Etcetorize Vintage Pattern Supplies I wonder with some of them if anyone will actually purchase them. These patterns are sooooo cute, but honestly, do you think you could pull of a Bikini Sizzler??? I don't think I could. So, today's modern take on these patterns comes from Japan. You got it...the Harajuku girls! Now stick with me, if Gwen Stefani and her friends can do it, why not you??? The pic above is…
