And her such a quiet little thing! You never know, do you? That McCall's pattern would have been very outre in '58; the center version would have worked in New York or L.A. (in the right setting, of course; don't wear that to Stouffer's or Jack-In-The-Box), but in most of the country, you'd have been tagged as a Scarlet Woman, someone who was Up To No Good. For that reason alone, I quite like it.Sandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-88210752729578255942012-05-06T19:36:18.525-04:002012-05-06T19:36:18.525-04:00I love that Vogue Paris YSL 1897 - whenever I see ...I love that Vogue Paris YSL 1897 - whenever I see it I imagine it at the Kennedy Inauguration or some other soiree magnifico!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217045813653088005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-80534470610841215722012-05-05T15:47:57.662-04:002012-05-05T15:47:57.662-04:00An exceptionally witty post - I chuckled a few tim...An exceptionally witty post - I chuckled a few times.

We also suggest that the saucy minx in M4657 (view A) is definitely selling something of which her mama would not approve. Seriously- is the overdress which appears in A to have a deep gathered frill perhaps made with a draw string so it could convert to B while one did nothing but pose, then be converted back to A when walking?Cleverclogsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-53795419168426393862012-05-04T21:44:31.096-04:002012-05-04T21:44:31.096-04:00SO GLAD you changed your mind and chose the black ...SO GLAD you changed your mind and chose the black crepe.

I think they were available in the US on a limited basis, but I know when I was younger neither Hancocks or JoAnn's here in the midwest carried them. Style was purchased by Simplicity in maybe the late 80's or so (about the time Simplicity purchased New Look) and Style patterns were widely available through Simplicity's distribution system for several years, but it must not have been a big money maker as Simplicity discontinued the line.Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-56214466652505065772012-05-04T13:45:21.517-04:002012-05-04T13:45:21.517-04:00I love mixing up projects.

Sometimes I do it by mood (like when I'm stalling/thinking about something) and sometimes I do all the machine tasks at once, then ironing, then hand work, etc. Depends on if I'm pushed for time or if I'm really excited about something.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161710324564422851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-29993551004012302362012-05-04T13:28:34.767-04:002012-05-04T13:28:34.767-04:00Not to mention your knees chafing together...Not to mention your knees chafing together...Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-88589929520683559162012-05-04T13:06:56.762-04:002012-05-04T13:06:56.762-04:00How would one walk when wearing the view B dress? ...How would one walk when wearing the view B dress? You mentioned dressing Barbie dolls; there's no way a real woman could wear a dress like that and actually walk. I'm envisioning a "wiggle walk" like Hedy Larue in the movie version of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, only puffier around the midsection. Do you suppose someone has actually made (and worn) one of these dresses?Carolynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-17952426834995571992012-05-04T12:51:16.793-04:002012-05-04T12:51:16.793-04:00Good luck with the silk!
