Everything just looked so neat and stylish. I also love how fitted her clothes were. In a world of elastic, knits and saggy baggy clothing no doubt contributing to the obesity epidemic, her tailored outfits are so refreshing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-19126140810997230972013-09-25T22:07:13.168-04:002013-09-25T22:07:13.168-04:00I have made a number of these years ago.

I will be green with envy when you make that outfit for Cathy.<br /><br />Yes, there was a time when anything from Paris was the thing to have, which was mocked beautifully in an episode of I Love Lucy, where the husbands tricked Lucy and Ethel into wearing lamp shades.<br /><br />Thanks for the show tune! Brought back a lot of memories. My favorite from that show, of course, is I Believe in You, but only when done by Robert Morse. Daniel Radcliffe, not so much.<br /><br />I can’t comment from my phone anymore, either.<br />Robertanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-47224277753033622902013-09-25T19:42:56.980-04:002013-09-25T19:42:56.980-04:00I already have the Ferragamo pumps!I already have the Ferragamo pumps!Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-65117661287491935942013-09-25T19:40:15.199-04:002013-09-25T19:40:15.199-04:00Oh, definitely time for a mid '60s high fashio...Oh, definitely time for a mid '60s high fashion look!
