    Wow, SugarKitten- love the applique and pearls on that sweater! So unique and dainty. Very pretty. Just got this adorable little 30s sweater in the mail. Fits like a dream! So excited, cause I usually don't see this type of thing outside of catalogs!

    Ooh- love that blouse pattern, dpd. I think the spring and warmer weather gave me pattern fever with the promise of summer around the corner. Haha. I was a bit naughty over the last few weeks, but I can't wait to make some of these up for summer. I'd been on the lookout for this halter...

    Well, I'm afraid not- I had plans to, but since it's missing pieces I'm not going to. I'm thinking of making my own patterns inspired by this one, though.

    Ooh! I totally had my eye on that second one! So glad you got that! Well, here's my sad and happy story. I had my eye on this pattern and won it on Ebay this week. I was SO excited, but when it got here it was missing the five pieces I really wanted- for the halter top and shorts. So I sent...

    I also got one of the striped shirts and mine definitely had a musty smell. I washed it and it mostly went away. My jeans didn't, though. [huh]

    ditto. And however long you think it will take you, double that, cause nothing ever goes as planned, and you never really realize how long things take until you do them for someone else. I still undercut myself.

    Oooh! That's a great idea! But I actually just bought myself a vintage striped 30s dress, so I think I might be saved that option (for now... muahaha!). But I am having fun with different options I can do with a combination of the two dresses! Add ruffles, remove ruffles, add sleeve ruffles...

    When I do a search I've been noticing that the tag "dress up" comes up. Do any of you gals use this tag? I had never thought of that before and wouldn't have thought to search for it. [huh] But maybe I'm missing something?
