I found these stunners on the Duryea, PA Historical Website:
I love the suspender skirt!! And the woman on the right's slip is showing.
I will certainly be getting some stripey socks in my future...
I am so in love with the girl on the right. I LOVE long tight skirts...
:eusa_clap :eusa_clap
True. I could care less if one has them or doesn't have them -- COuld care less if they are well done or terrible looking. It doesn't affect my life in the slightest! The anger over tattoos here is quite amusing!!! lol
I'm doing this in a round-about way. NO MORE PATTERNS until I make what I have. I've even made a Flickr album to keep track of my progress. And I have loads of fabric so I won't need to buy any of that for a while.
WARNING: When you learn to sew you will become hopelessly addicted.
Since we're having a thunder blizzard here and work was cancelled :D I got to finish up my dress:
From this pattern. I shortened it, sewed up most of the front, added a side zip, and used sleeves from another...
I'm assuming no 1910s OTR has been saved. Did the '10s have OTR? What was it like and what would've been broadcast? How about earlier?
:o
Got so many questions!!!
Wow. I read your whole article. It's very interesting that in 1935 they invented the "disc" to record the programmes on. Certainly explains why I can only really find OTR in earnest beginning at about 1937.
I've heard some of the Morse Code airchecks from 13/14. They gave me the shivers...
lol
Flip-Flops never bothered me. But then again, I grew up near the Jersey Shore where they are required and appropriate footwear.
I think I found this flip-flopped 50s housewife on LIFE. Where are her pearls and heels?
Does this exist? The earliest I've come across is 1931. Did they "save" radio programmes back then? What did they consist of? Is there absolutely ANY place I can find 1920s OTR? I've looked on Archive, but as I said -- the earliest I've found is 1931. Thanks.
Nope, nothing. Just looking down at the ground. Not saying it's wrong if that's the culture -- it's just very different from what I'm used to and, yes, I see it as a bit rude. Even my husband thinks it's rude and he's a LONDONER! lol
And when my in-laws visit they always say the same thing...
Not bashing my friends across the pond because my husband is from England and I'm a seething Anglophile, but when I visit the UK and Ireland I notice NO ONE says "Thank you" when I hold the door open for them. NO ONE. Even here in Philadelphia you'll get a "Thank you" 99.9% of the time.
I'm baaaaack! ;)
How's this for manners in the Golden Era, my grandmother hit the camera away from my grandfather when he was trying to take an 8mm movie of her. She actullay HITS him and the camera and storms off. This was 1941. Same year, same set of 8mm films -- an aunt flips the...
