In fact, I've been buying vintage magazines lately, also for the allure of seeing all those great styles in context.<br /><br />And I know what you mean about today's people modeling vintage pieces... I just watched 'Christian Dior: the man behind the myth' and I really didn't like how they let present-day models show iconic Dior looks from the late 40's and 50's (including the famous 'Bar' suit). These girls may strutt their stuff for a living but they just don't have the shape for the classic Dior styles.Laurianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602295642057814667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-39879537506986623872012-04-24T20:45:31.683-04:002012-04-24T20:45:31.683-04:00Amazon should give you a commission.

I'm not really into vintage-sewing myself (don't feel comfortable in big dresses), but recently I've found myself more and more attracted to 60's A-line dresses (or at least the contemporary interpretations). I've already made a brown/lurex striped one and cut another one in green. <3 Thanks for yet another interesting post! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-39546488818516849152012-04-24T14:45:37.539-04:002012-04-24T14:45:37.539-04:00I love those beautiful details clothes had in that...I love those beautiful details clothes had in that era, in fact, many other eras than today where we slap everything together as fast as possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-64364563004482547532012-04-24T14:16:31.629-04:002012-04-24T14:16:31.629-04:00Just ordered mine from Amazon...I checked eBay as ...Just ordered mine from Amazon...I checked eBay as well and they were pretty pricey on the bay.
