The waistband on this SUCKS lol I had majour issues with the way the directions said (VERY VAGUE!) and just did it my way. I sewed the front on like the directions say, then I sewed the back facing on the same way, but left the bottom completely open. I turned in the seam allowance on...- Amy Jeanne

Kamikat -- Love that apron front. LD -- That blouse is sweet. Everyone needs a basic 40s blouse! Here's what I made recently: My grandmother requested I make her an apron "out of scraps", but that is impossible for me! It needs to be just right, especially for mom-mom. Can't...- Amy Jeanne

LD -- Love that dress. I surely hope you don't think it's "frumpy'!! It really looks 30s-as-heck!! And with your tats it makes a good contrast (I love the "librarian-with-tattoos" look!) Everyone else has great stuff! I love the embroidery! I think I might have to learn that soon.- Amy Jeanne

Speaking of Drive Ins?
There's a drive-in in the county I grew up in: http://www.delseadrive-in.com/ It was unoperational for almost 20 years until it was re-opened in 2003 (if memory serves me correctly!) The screen faces a big open road (Delsea Drive) and the screen really held up well all those years...- Amy Jeanne

Defining ladies style and fashions your take.
:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap This is my exact semtiment. I would feel really "naked" if I just went out in jeans and a t-shirt (like I did today due to lack of clean laundry!) It's really simple, I think. Dressing the way I do comes naturally so very little effort goes into it -- I...- Amy Jeanne

Your Favorite Film Costumes
I like any costume ever filmed in the 1930s. lol Here are just a few faves: Anything worn in Three On A Match (1932). They are all so simple and I would certainly wear every single one on a daily basis. All those crazy costumes worn by Thelma Todd. I really do love the 30s for it's...- Amy Jeanne

your vintage Achilles heel
Mostly beacuse of this message board and looking at photos of "normal" women from the 30s and 40s (as opposed to movie stars) I've began to accept my "imperfect" self and think I look great no matter what I put on. I also learned to sew and can make clothes tailor made to fit me completely...- Amy Jeanne

But the 50s gal came on this board, told us the article was all misquoted, and I fell back in love with them! My husband (who is...- Amy Jeanne
