Just a followup to the lovely ladies who posted nice things/questions about the blue suit I talked about getting upthread: I finally received it yesterday....and it has a "coat and suit industry / national recovery board" tag half hidden in the left side jacket seam...no 1980s suit here...whoohoo!!

Kat, I LOVE your headpiece. I'm looking for something like that now that the weather is cooler here. I watched St. Louis Blues yesterday and Ruby Dee had one like that. Also, I can't think of a picture off the top of my head but, I have seen ladies in movies wearing them from time to time.

 

[CherryRed]

Great stuff Kat!!!

I just got this:

Georgous stuff Kat and Raas the blouse is cute.

I was a little risky and crazy today and bought 10 patterns about that I don´t know how they look like...

Anyway: 8 from 10 look vintage and it was such a good deal just paying 1,99 Euro. I hope it will feature some clothes I like preferably in my size... Otherwise I got to learn to alter it as soon as I have more pattern experience. For this price it was worth the risk I think. It´s not that much to lose [huh]

lol you are brave! I kind of did the same thing awhile back...my next door neighbor was having an estate sale. I guess she was an avid seamstress (wish I knew about that before she decided to go live in an assistant living building!) anyways, she had TONS of vintage patterns which she sold for .25 each. The only problem is that they are for a size 14, which I'm a size 3...I'm hoping that it won't matter!

Nothing too exciting but I bought this pair of shoes which were listed as a size 5D. Do you know how hard it is to find small shoes in wide widths???

I need a pair of oxfords anyway and I thought they were cute and look like they are in good condition.
Also bought this pair of gloves. I never saw gloves like these before and I'm not really sure if they are 40's or 50's. Definitely post war but I still thought they were cute and I'm a little red-obsessive.

I just got these...shoes are my favorite thing.

I sometimes call myself a shoe whore.

Katydid and CherryRed, very nice shoes :eusa_clap . Katydid, maybe look for vintage Lane Bryant shoes or if you can find them vintage Roamans shoes, they catered to us ladies with wider feet.

Bought these shoes for $2.50 at my favorite thrift store. The leather is so buttery soft and they fit like a glove. They still have the original price tag on the insole- that store is long gone.

 

[Daisy Buchanan]

wow, those shoes are great Leilani. I like the smaller heel. I can't believe the price of them. Ladies spectators seem hard to find.

I ordered these dresses from "The Red Dress Shoppe" on line. They have a lot of cute vintage inspired clothes. I'm am very impressed with all of them, but the blue polka dot one and the black floral are exact copies, Hemingway Jones and a woman in a vintage shoppe thought that they were actually vintage. They are also incredibly comfortable and perfectly fit. It's sometimes difficult to find a perfect fitting vintage dress that needs no alterations. I got a very cute black jacket taken from a McCalls pattern as well as a black tweedy flared skirt. For some reason, I can't upload the pictures. The jacket is really cute, I dressed it up with a bakelite brooch, or rhinestones if I need something fancier. The skirt is nice. It will be a staple in my wardrobe this fall. The only thing I don't like about it is it has an uneven hemline, which makes it look a little too modern. Will look good with either a white blouse and a cardigan or black jacket or a tight cable knit turtleneck. I'm sure you all have visited this on line store before, but I'lll give you the link just in case you haven't seen it. They also have good sales, but unfortunately they don't get new products in all that often. http://www.reddressshoppe.com/index-old.html

Daisy that blue cotton number is darling! Do you mind saying where the hemline falls?
