Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Very pretty sheet! I admit I don't usually use cutting layouts. Since you've got a sheet and not yardage I wouldn't really bother following theirs, just make sure you've got everything on grain and on the fold or mirrored where it needs to be. Since it doesn't look directional really, you can...- Lauren

Can you help me date this item??
Yes, you are perfectly right. The outfit is late 40s, very possibly early 50s but I would say late 40s. Sellers often times get these eras confused. I see it ALL the time. The late 40s went back to the styles that were coming in just pre WWII. It's almost like that fashion that was to be up...- Lauren

Show us your vintage patterns!
I agree for the most part. Some patterns I've gotten have been super delicate and nearly flake off when you try to unfold them. Mostly due to very bad storage. But if a pattern was in that bad of shape I wouldn't buy it anyways. It's just that it does take time to go through patterns and it...- Lauren

Can you help me date this item??
That's a hard one. It does have the right look for the period- even the fabric looks right. The buttons could be newer but the zip most certainly is. Zippers weren't very common in clothing until the late 1930s, though some people did put zippers in the mid 1930s- but even then they would have...- Lauren

Western Costume Company Supply Store
My one experience with Western Costume was not a very pleasant one. I went specifically to buy a somewhat expensive distressing kit for an independant film I was working on, and was completely ignored by all the staff. I nearly had to corner someone to get them to help me. I would love to go...- Lauren

I was naughty. I have always wanted one of these celluloid chain necklaces with the things dangling from them and now I have one. When I saw anchors I had to have it. :D Does anyone know, how do you date these? Listing said 40s, is that right? Nice machine, JessesGirl! I used to sew on a...- Lauren

Thanks so much, gals :D Gracie Lee, it was my Smooth Sailing pattern for the pants. I just made them cuffless and left off the belt loops. (not sure if I'm allowed to link to it or if it's against the rules?)- Lauren

Thanks! OT, but have you seen the dolls Tonner has of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford? They're pricey but look gorgeous! There's some new lovely Gowns By Anne Harper dolls, too. So pretty!- Lauren

My friend Alice, hands up if you think she has a great face for vintage :)
She's darling! I could also see her sporting 20s or 30s style- her face would be framed beautifully by loose fingerwaves.- Lauren
