Shop Discovery: Serendipity Vintage (exclusive discount code!)

I love vintage fashion and I love crafts. One day, I would love to learn how to sew something more than a hem, a vintage dress, maybe.

It's in dreaming of my seamstress days that I have been browsing through Serendipity Vintage, and online store specialising in vintage sewing patterns, and the accompanying blog. I love how you can browse the store by decade (1930s - 2000s). It gives you a great sense of how styles have evolved.

The patterns are beautiful, butthe best part about Serendipity Vintageis its friendly owner, Collette. As a fan of my blog (yay!), she has kindly offered an exclusive discount code for my readers:

use the code LAPETITE10 to get 10% off your purchase.

Thank you, Collette!

To finish off, a pick of my favourites :) It wouldn't come as a surprise to most of my readers that I have fallen in love with the 50s dresses (well, patterns). I can't imagine being able to make such beautiful dresses myself, but a girl can dream...
