All I Got... Maybe these look familiar? Haven't gotten it in the mail yet -- late 1930s sports skirt! Haven't gotten this in the mail yet, either. Just bought it today. And I have some repros from EvaDress: 1935 German sundress 1934 "Lounging" attire. I LOVE 30s...- Amy Jeanne

Ah yes - the Interfacing! That's exactly where it was puckering most -- where the interfacing was meant to be. I think i'm ready to start using it. I learn something new about sewing everyday! And thanks about the apron :)- Amy Jeanne

lol lol lol It's supposed to be this: http://www.evadress.com/6222.html Really, I only made this for practice. I don't intend to ever wear it other than a nightgown. I used really cheap fabric and it was awful to work with so I have a lot of crooked seams and bunching. Other than that, I...- Amy Jeanne

Thanks gals! I made another apron -- I made it reversible! I'm also trying to put together a pattern from Eva Dress from 1935. If it comes out ok, I'm going to use it as a nightgown because I'm not using any Interfacing in it.- Amy Jeanne

Hopefully one day I'll be as good as the ladies here!! I'm just a beginner, go easy on me: The waist band's a bit wonky and the hem is a bit "rolled" -- lol I'm going to unpick the hem and fix it this weekend. It's from a pattern from 1940. Apron from a 50s pattern. As you can...- Amy Jeanne

Dresses: Which Decade?
I often feel like "Herman Munster" in modern clothes!! The arms are always too short, the buttons at the bust always pull, and the short-sleeved shirts are always just a bit too snug around my upper arm. But if I go a size bigger, it's ALWAYS TOO BIG!!! And, well, there goes that potato sack...- Amy Jeanne

Dresses: Which Decade?
The 20s and early 30s are my very favourite time periods, but, unfortunately, I feel I do not look good in the dresses from that era. My measurements are 38-30-38 and I'm 5'7" -- I'm a "Jane Russell" type, I guess. Because I have a larger bust, the 20s dresses make the dress stick out more...- Amy Jeanne

Dresses: Which Decade?
I love them all! 20s and early 30s are so beautiful to look at, but I don't wear them because I know I'll look like a sack of potatoes :rolleyes: I've recently began to sew my own clothes and I'm finding that patterns from the late 30s and early 40s suit my body type most. And, of...- Amy Jeanne

Baby Names? Vintage?
My favourite name is Lillian. That was my grandmother's name (1901-1972). I also had an Aunt Lillian on my mom's side. She died when I was 10 years old, but I hear stories about how fascinating she was. She never married, never had kids, traveled the world, and had all kinds of expensive...- Amy Jeanne

How has ebay changed collecting locally, in person?
My local antique shops are filled to the brim with wonderfullness. I ALWAYS just go to browse and end up buying something for mega-cheap: $100 for a 1941 art moderne buffet, $35 for a 1934 Philco radio, $30 for a set of yellow 1950s kitchen chairs. I once walked away with tons of sheet music...- Amy Jeanne
