Not able to dress vintage?
I'm so sorry to hear of your foot injury! Take care of yourself. I agree with what the other gals say- just a brooch or scarf can add quite a great look to any outfit. Orthopedic shoes can look very vintage, too. I like the idea of the Rosie look you mentioned. Maybe there's other shoes that...- Lauren

That's lovely, crwritt! Amazing job matching the print to the pocket! Did you applique the print all around the neck, too? That's a great idea!- Lauren

What are you wearing today??
Wow! Thanks! :D The jacket was a trade from a friend quite a few years ago. It's a lovely light/dark gray woven stripe wool. It's by "Hayes Custom Tailors, Topeka, Kansas", and is dated 1941 inside. It's really beautifully tailored- it almost has a man-tailored look to it and feeling it, it...- Lauren

Custom made vintage repros...
Hi Barbara!! I agree with Smuterella- they're really versatile. I think you could wear them with just about anything :) Plain or printed cotton button up blouses, plain or striped t shirts, and for shoes I'd probably wear oxfords, flat espadrilles, sandals, or classic keds. Those are so...- Lauren

Do you have a sewing circle or craft group?
I used to have girlfriends I'd get together with and sew, but most have moved away. I'm with Lady Day- this is kind of my sewing circle now :D This and seeing what gals make on blogs. It's really inspiring.- Lauren

Can you help me date this item??
I have a pattern very similar to the one above from 1940, and suits with pleated skirts from 1939- but they don't reach the proportions of the 50s skirts. Pleating was always around in some form or another. I think the trick is where the tucks release and how full the skirt is to help figure...- Lauren

Sheer Dresses and Blouses
Sheer dresses were very common and not racy. The earliest historical example I can think of are the muslin dresses Marie Antoinette made popular- women often even wore corsets in colors, I believe, underneath them. The Regency often had sheer dresses as well, and throughout the Victorian era...- Lauren
