I love this time of year when Strictly Come Dancing arrives on our tv screen! I love the colour, the glitter and the glamour!
So imagine my delight when this pattern turned up in a bundle of vintage patterns I acquired recently. It is a 1960s pattern for a ballroom dress, with variations on neckline and sleeve. It has been partially cut, but is complete and in good condition.
The pattern is recommended by Bill and Bobby Irvine. Here’s their wikipedia entry. They were dancing in the 1960s, and won 13 world titles during that decade. Here they are dancing:

I can’t find anything out about Theatreland Ltd. All I can find online is a company with the same name which provides theatre guides and websites which began in 2003.
Just fabulous!
It is for sale in my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/487288861/vintage-ballroom-dress-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_9
