    Everyday Women of the Golden Era

    I LOVE this thread! Real women are so much better than movie stars, in my opinion. I love film stars for glamour, but this is the type of beauty we could achieve realistically and still retain who we are. Love it. :eusa_clap

    Add to the vintage pattern Wiki!

    I have posted several on there. It's a good site for trolling though styles and getting dating ideas. Here's a few that I've added with pics of things made up: http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/wiki/Mccall_9053 http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/wiki/New_York_604...
