    Vintage Bathing Suits

    Ah, but see, I have come up with a foolproof way to prevent chlorine/salt damage to swimsuits. I just don't go in the water. Might have something to do with the fact that I can't swim, but yeah. ;)

    Womens WWII uniforms?

    I use that site as a constant quick-reference when skimming things online. It's wonderful (and so is her collection). Also, if anyone's interested in the ARC - here's a great website for reference as well. Shirley Powers - ARC Collector/Historian

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    -We've ordered a lot of patterns from Amazon for the theater department here at school - unless it's a more traditionally mass-market company like Rockinghorse or Folkwear, a lot of the patterns tend to be very minimal and aimed at someone with a good background in sewing. You can get...

    Naperville Train Crash Remembered

    Ran across this article this morning in the SunTimes. Thought it was particularly interesting since the main remembrances are from a female Marine who was on site to help immediately after the crash and the fact that most of the train was loaded with returning servicemen. April 25, 1946...
