Show Us Your Purchases!
Nice magazine, LD, those magazines are the best. Cici, I also bought some fabric recently. I've been so good with fabric lately that I didn't think it was naughty to get a little of these ;) I'm trying to find more of the Holiday Hostess fabric.

the leopard can never change its spots
I was all about leopard in High School- had leopard car seat covers and steering wheel covers, and even comforter and pillows for my room. Kind of left me burnt out, but I like it when done sparingly. There's one outfit in the fashion show in Roberta that makes my heart flutter, though. I've...- Lauren

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
It's not really that bad. I'm math dumb and I can do it, too :) This Threads article is great. Just look at the picture if the directions are confusing. You can trace you pattern pieces, then draw a straight line where it needs to get bigger. Cut along that line and tape it to a piece of...- Lauren

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
I think the easiest way is to look at the back of the envelope and see how many inches it is off of your measurements. You'll need to add a little in the width of the shoulder as well as the sideseam, probably. Maybe the neck, too, if it's fitted. Hope that helps :)- Lauren

Paper Dolls
Oh, those are COOL! Thanks for sharing! My mom collects Betsy McCall paper dolls and dolls. She's who introduced me to McCall magazine when I was just a little girl- and probably is partially responsible for my pattern and magazine addiction ;) My grandma would buy her the 50s counter books...- Lauren

Why is everything marked "VLV"?
Lizzie, lol ! Sometimes when my husband and I find something cool when we're antiquing or thrifting we'll walk around and make up absurd ebay titles for them. "VLV Pinup OSS Steampunk Lolita Rockabilly Dress" etc. Haha. Ebay has spawned it's own lingo, kind of like LOLcats.- Lauren

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
I think you'll probably have to fit it no matter what you do, so it's up to you! You might want to consider interfacing it or even lightly boning it if it's to go as high as in the picture. Take into consideration that unless the dress pattern you would modify it for would be strapless (like a...- Lauren

If it's just a standard blouse it's not that hard. The hardest part is the sleeve. If you do a raglan blouse it's harder. I like this link best for grading- from Threads Magazine.- Lauren
