I remember my mom always waking up before her husband when shebwas married just to put on her makeup!

That's why I LOVE pin curls! They are so close to my head I can tie a cute matching bandanna 'Rosie Riviter' style!! It's super cute!

I adore a good muumuu! I live in muumuus & day dresses! I'd think I'd like to find a good patio dress too! This is my favorite muumuu! I like to cinch a wide white belt around the waist & wear it with a nice classic wedge to dress it up a bit! (Photo courtesy of SailorPinkVintage)

I agree! If I see 'mad men' to describe another vintage piece I may scream!:eek:

My new pattern I just purchased this great pattern on etsy! It's so versatile! I'm excited! I'll have to size/grade it a bit, but that's ok! A girlfriend and I will be attending our FIRST WWII event in Waxahacie in Nov! We are excited! I'm hoping to have this sewn by then!:p

Oh I love this pattern!! Nothing like good culottes!! I'm totally envious!! It reminds me of a 30s 'Hostess Pajama' pattern vie been desperately searching for!!

Thanks

Thanks sooooo much!!

That reminds me: can anyone point me to information on adjusting sizing on patterns? I'm having trouble finding patterns big enough for me!! (and they say women were not as skinny and 'fuller figured' back then!! I think not!)

Those pants are darling!! I'd like about 3million pair just like them!!!

What I found Ok Ladies for anyone else who is interested I just did a blog post on the typical diet of ladies during WWI & WWII. Basically it's looks to be rather low carb & heavy on fruits & veggies grown in Victory Gardens. Rationing was the name of the game!! Foods like sugar...

Love it!

I was curious... What kind of 'diets' did women use to lose weight in the 40s & 50s (or before)? How did they loose weight? What about the 'normal' diet & foods of people during the time? What was the normal foods eaten? Also what did ladies do for exercise? What did they wear to...

I thought it might be fun to post our wish list!! I searched & hadn't found a similar thread... If there is one, please redirect me! I adore this dress. It's so versatile! What a great investment!!! All seasons & all stages of life!! Before & after pregnancy no one would know it's maternity...
