Cathy Models the 1959 McCall's Luis Estevez Dress!

I know many of you never thought you'd see the day when my cousin Cathy Lane returned to modeling.

After a four-year absence, does Cathy still have what it takes?

Motherhood has made Cathy more womanly.

But she is still just as beguiling.

Here Cathy models McCall's A-2, a vintage 1959 dress pattern designed by Luis Estevez exclusively for the Quaker Oats Company. 

Cotton polka dotted fabric is from Chic Fabrics in the NYC Garment District.

The beautiful "away from the neck" collar is accentuated by a large statement bow.

Whipped up by yours truly.

Cathy still has many of her same old vices.

But fortunately maintains the dewy-fresh complexion of a newborn.

Cathy has once again begun to make the rounds.

She has cleverly accessorized her Luis Estevez creation with a black satin clutch, kid leather gloves, bangle bracelets, button earrings, sunglasses, and a black velvet chapeau.

Cathy's day starts early.

She travels from go-see to go-see in search of a modeling gig.

She feels so good to be back in the city, a single gal on the go.

Daughter Simplicity, now six, currently attends a military academy in Switzerland.

Cathy writes when she can.

Life is so full of possibilities for our youngish model.

In her Luis Estevez original, who knows what might happen?

Especially for a beautiful model like Cathy.

With a newly-enhanced figure!

See you soon!
