Hm, I wonder if it had to do with the kind of yarn she was using. An acrylic would knit up similarly to wool (drape, gauge) I think, but I don't think it would absorb as much water or distort to the same extent as wool or cotton would...Plus, it won't itch like crazy...Hm. Might have to do some test swatches before hand! Which patterns do you have? I don't have a pattern yet, but I'd need one that isn't TOO difficult (I'm not the world's most accomplished needlecrafter, alas).
I've got two Vogue from 1950. One is a two piece which is a pair of what we'd call boy shorts now under a long sleeveless tunic, and the other is a one piece skirted at the front with or without straps. The third is vogue 48 and is a strapless tunic over shorts. All of them would work for 30s I think. I'll try and get piccies of them.
