Lorena B said:Mentha, if you have already a pencil skirt you can trace it and make your own pattern as i did, you have to be careful to leave extra seams space thou.fftopic: hey, will i see you this weekend in the Cruise inn, Amsterdam for D-Day???
Unfortunately I don't have a pencilskirt yet... The ones I've seen that I like are usually far beyind my budget. Besides that, I can be pretty sure they're not long enough for me, for I seem to have longer-than-average upper legs
Guess I'll just have to try out my self made pattern and see what happens
I'm not planning on going to Amsterdam this weekend, first weekend in a while that I'm without plans, so I'm going to enjoy that and see if I can finally get crackin' on my new dress

Awesome shirt pattern, Lauren! Love the placket and the pleat back - sooo sporty!
Shame you haven't enough fabric left to make the skirt but sure you'll find something to go with it.
P.S: Have you got a shot of the pattern cover?

Again, I love everything. Lauren's 30s shorts set takes my breath away! MissAmeliana's dresses are always top notch, and I'm really digging kamikat's use of wilder fabrics

Thanks, gals!
Here's the pattern cover, Miss Sis. Don't you love how one's wearing ballet shoes and the other's wearing beachwear? I pictured it as something you'd wear in a dance rehearsal, a la Busby Berkeley.

The infamous overalls! Seems lots of gals are whipping these up, which is awesome.
I made a pair awhile back and never got around to posting.....I found the construction challenging.
That's Oskar Booger in the corner. He's my special boy.

LAUREN, these are lovely, i love how neat all look specially around the buttons ( i am terrible at them,he,he)Lauren said:I just finished the shirt and shorts from a 1933 pattern. It's been on my "to-sew" list for years! I just need to make the wrap skirt and I'll have the whole set, but unfortunately I didn't buy enough of the fabric when I bought it years ago! I guess white linen it is...

Lauren,
You always make the nicest items. Beautiful!

This thread is TOO much fun. Wonderful work everyone!!
GG, this dress is SMOKIN' hot on you! Love the fabric/color you chose!
Do you have MM's red Niagra dress? Could easily be adapted I think? I've wanted that one forever.
Did you change the pattern at all? Because it looks a-heckuva lot better on you than it does on the cover, I would've never picked it up!
Lorena, I thought of the Niagra dress looking at yours too. What a phenomenal job you did putting that together!
LD, love the dark blouse with the tiny floral motif!

I made this for a garden party fundraiser. Wishing I had gotten this picture with a better background, but at least I got a shot of the whole outfit. The fabric isn't 20's era, but the theme was the art of Edward Gorey who drew the 20's during the 60's so we had a bit of fun with it.

Rachael, that outfit is AWESOME. I love the gothic 20s look, and Gorey is neat.

The very top above the bust is HUGE, though. I also wish my buttons were whiter, but I found them in the drawers of my grandmother's 1938 Kenmore in what looked to be a 1950s cookie tin. So possible vintage buttons!!

Amy Jeanne, that a really nice dress, and the color is so great for now, the summer.
You could make a little bolero maybe in white to go with the belt!!!
I love the story behind the bottoms, you will be wearing a bit of your nan with you

LorenaB = I never thought of it that way -- that my vintage buttons will be like carrying a part of my grandmother. I never met her -- she died before I was born. Also, I love Hawaiian dresses and my next dress is actually going to be in the Hawaiian style! Just waiting on the fabric!
