Thank you! And everyone else's looks fab, too! Here are some I've finished:

I'm not satisfied with the collar/yoke/vestee area. I might change them to the flamingo pink so it stands out more. Kinda gets lost in all that crazy pattern! :D
Yes, I have several other Vintage Vogue patterns and I wear a size 16 like a glove. REAL vintage patterns I wear an 18.
I'll glady do another exchange, LM! Do you have it in 16 or another size? PM me and you can look at my patterns again if you remember the PW!
Thanks!
Anyone have these in a 16 that they can make copies for me? I'll make two for you in return and give you my super-secret photobucket pattern password so you can see what i have! Thanks!
I've already looked online for these. And I'm NOT paying those prices ;)
Thanks gals! Everyone's stuff is so dainty and amazing. Please keep posting because I LOVE seeing all of your creations!
LD -- I love sewing! I'm getting so good. My seamstress friend Heathyr is coming over on May 16th to give me a lesson in sizing up patterns. That's really all I need...
From everything I've seen you in, I think you look best in pencil skirts and fitted jackets/blouses. But I'm sure you'll look great in this one, too!!
And maybe we can swap again if you want! I'm not picky about size anymore :)
I was being lazy and hotlinked her from my blogger :o
Here she is done properly:
How a waitress should look, 1947
How a waitress should NOT look!
Another for good measure, 1948
This is a picture of a picture that's why the quality isn't so good. I took this when I visited my grandmother a few weeks ago. This is her in 1944 and *her* grandmother. I love mom-mom's outfit and hair in this pic. I was quizzing her about them! lol
Ahhh yes. I have that one, too! I think I bought all the exploiters and "budget" movies from oldies.com at one point in time (and still haven't watched them all.) I usually prefer these kinds of movies :)
Most of the pre-Code programmer movies I love so much that TCM has shown once in the middle of the night :/ No one has seen them but me and some other dame in Arizona.
