Adele, that dress is just droolworthy! It reminds me of a pattern I have that's from 1937. I made up one this last year. Such a lovely dress! Congrats on the good find!- Lauren

So cute! I'm a little scared to try anything with fingers still. Did you find a pattern, or did you make it up? I noticed the V&A had some knitted items on their site and they're really inspiring. I love this little jug- Lauren

I just finished the 3 hour sweater, which was more like 12 hours. It didn't really come out like the illustration. And I didn't even read the thread on it until I was mostly done with it. Ah well. It's really not very good and my yarn stretched out A LOT. It was cheap-o pound of acrylic...- Lauren

That book is FANTASTIC. I have it, too, and it's a great resource for dress design in period techniques- Lauren

I think it's great! I'm guessing 30s, though I'm no expert on buckles.- Lauren

Can you help me date this item??
I'm with Sunny on the dates. I'm pretty sure the negligee is late 30s. It's too long in length and the soutache at the top is too high to be teens. The cut looks like the Grecian styles that came back in 1936 but were really popular in the later 30s. Lady Day, I second your suit as late...- Lauren

That's a great article!! I'm doing one that called for 6 stitches per inch, but I didn't get it small enough, so I am doing 5 stitches per inch, so it's good to know it's normal and I figured it out right. Math's certainly not my strong point. [huh]- Lauren

Show your NRA (National Recovery Act) branded items!
Speaking of movies- one Busby Berkeley number has a human formation of the NRA eagle. I think it's the "Forgotten Man" number. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37-ocetYDdU- Lauren

Calling all Rustics!
I think authentic copies of period clothing counts for portraying the period. After all, when they wore the clothing it was new.- Lauren

Calling all Rustics!
I'm not a purist, but when I do dress vintage I like to be as authentic as I can. I love the history of the period and many aspects, but confining my interests to one period isn't possible for me! I love everything from 18th century to the early 40's, and whatever period I want to portray I...- Lauren
