Oh yeah- and Amy Jeanne, in my sewing lineup in the past I had bell bottom pants with the three stooges faces all over them and a hawaiian sarong dress with pinup girls all over it, so you're not alone in sewing madness 
I love what you've done!

Ooh! fun!
It kind of reminds me of the crazy fun beach pajamas of satin that Betty Grable wears in The Gay Divorcee- probably the mad shoulder treatment. These are padded with HUGE piping strips.

Lauren, this is a great idea for a thread! lol.
I'm not sure I own anything that could be described as *obnoxious* - my tastes are quite subdued! Mad, perhaps, but obnoxious? Hmmmmmm.
(goes away to rifle through wardrobe and ponder)

The men in the background of this picture are funny. I bet you they're thinking "who is this woman going to rob?" or, "It's really not that cold out, we're not wearing any fur overcoats."

I totally love wacky late teens/early 20s bathing costumes. Preferably with big bold prints. I saw a picture of one once with a spierweb design on it. Love.
I also really love Mexican souvenier circle skirts. I have one from Acapulco with cliffs and cliff divers painted on it. And another one with sequined aztec temples on it.
And the more ridiculous the novelty print, the more I love it.
Who am I kidding, I really love a lot of the over-top-stuff. I think that's what drew me to vintage in the first place.

MUST BIULD TIME MACHINE!
Gorgeous!!!
It reminds me...skipping farther back in time...when I interned in the costume collection at a museum...the textiles of their evening dresses from the 1870s were CRAZY!!! like the most psychedelic silk patterns that would put the 60s to shame! but in a bustle with dripping beads around every hem...AMAZING.

Oh, I'm totally with you on that. 1870s costumes are NEAT.
It seems I'm always sharing hats in this thread so far. lol
Check out this exhibit on Hats from the V&A. Some of those are just wonderfully silly and out there.
