Show us what you've made!
Thanks so much, Gals! Kamikat- the fabric is kind of a pain, but it's so comfy when it's together! If I hadn't have been darn determined to wear it the next day I think I would have thrown mine in the UFO pile, too lol- Lauren

What to do with collections you've no room for?
When my husband and I got married we had a similar issue- we're both "collectors" (aka packrats), so when we combined forces it was somewhat overwhelming! Selling things off slowly online is helping a bit, as is curbing the habit of buying because we found a "deal" or have plans of reselling...- Lauren

Can you help me date this item??
Lady Day, I think you're right- both hats look 50s to me, the second could be early 60s. Annie Pancake- that is AWESOME. Culottes were a big thing in the later 50s, so I'm guessing that's when this is from. So old movie star lounging on the patio! LOVE. Villa, the first is probably late 30s-...- Lauren

Don't forget that a lot of people out there are interested in...- Lauren

1861 - The Consequences of the Crinoline
Great article! I wonder how much was fact and how much was invention. I had heard of the fire and the machinery but not some of the others. It would never have occurred to me that they could be disemboweled by a stray hoop wire.- Lauren

The ones that got away
That is a lot. Probably because the fabric is so cute. Some of the poses kind of look like these paintings :) http://www.essentialart.com/sw/Edgar_Degas_Two_Dancers_on_Stage.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_96XVIwBWXCM/TDNL1sKQnBI/AAAAAAAABX4/uuxDbjzoCbQ/s1600/edgar_degas_gallery_5.jpg...- Lauren

That second dress so neat! Aren't those some of Degas' ballerinas? At least the poses look familiar.- Lauren

Oh! That's neat. Sorry, I don't know how to use it, though.[huh] Seems kind of like a rolled hem foot, but I could never get the hang of those either.- Lauren
