Bettydarling, I didn't even notice you had rollers in, that how cute your total look was!

AmyJeanne, I love, love, LOVE novelty prints. I think they look so great in dresses and skirts. And I wear them to work too, much to the amusement of my Gap/J Crew clad coworkers.

Miss Becky, I also used plastic zip ties in place of featherweight boning in the last dress I made. I works perfectly in a pinch!

Everyone's been making such neat stuff!
I made this blouse from a nice flannel that I got from Joann's on clearance for the Air Raid on Saturday. I also made my husband's jeans he's wearing in this picture. They were drafted off of a pair of 30s collegiate pants he owns and made to look like a catalog picture we found.

The clothes are simply wonderful! I feel like I have a secret window to the past when I look at you two. You're expressions are priceless! Makes me wonder if that boy is going to ask that girl to do something next Saturday too. Somehow, I think he just might! You should frame this one, Lauren.

Lauren, Love those jeans....you two are a very stylish couple!

Jenniferrose7, yes, plastic zip ties are very convenient and cheap, and also something a pro might NOT use!

But hey, she wants a light weight dress (summer wedding), and she likes to move around and breath...not be tied into a corset, she's an active gal and hates to feel 'trapped' lol So they are perfect. She would have never known they were plastic zip ties, if I didn't tell her lol

LD, fantastic as always! I love the "everyday" outfits I think as much as the dresses we would only see in movies.

Lauren, I can't even tell you how much I love the outfits. (I can only see the one photo of you both sitting down though, boo )

Cici, the jumper and blouse are wonderful! Love the blue with the creaminess of the white. Do you talk about the pattern on a previous post? I was thinking about getting it. You've done such a beautiful job with it!

La Julia · Feb 26, 2010

I agree, great color combo

Foofoogal · Feb 26, 2010

I love this thread so much.

Lauren, your guy sure got a good one when he got you or the other way around. lol
What a talented woman.

I love, love that blouse SayCici. That is adorable.

SayCici · Feb 26, 2010

Thanks everyone!!

Jetgirl, I was thinking about doing reviews of repro patterns but haven't talked about the pattern in detail yet on my blog. It's an easy, straightforward pattern though, go for it! (Pretty soon I'm actually having an EvaDress giveaway so keep an eye out!)

Amy Jeanne · Feb 27, 2010

So, so pretty, gals.:eusa_clap

Audrey Horne · Feb 28, 2010

Lauren and SayCici, I think I'm in love! So so fun and beautiful!

Lauren · Feb 28, 2010

Wow! Thanks so much, gals!! I actually wore the top again today and was glad with how warm it is in this rainy weather.
Cici, you know how absolutely wonderful and adorable I think your ensemble is! Amazing!

I've been working on this for a while, and even though it was like torture to be sewing linen in cold and rainy weather I finished it up today! Yay!
I have more about it on my blog here.

My coat

Not a very good picture, it doesn't show the front very well, but here's my coat I made last year. Sorry if it's huge!

Lady Day · Mar 3, 2010

Woah, thats spectacular! Your whole look is the bees knees.

Has anyone had experience with Vogue V2401? I picked it up yesterday at JoAnne's for a song along with enough chocolate brown taffeta to make a nice dress for Thanksgiving (JoAnne's is having a fantastic sale btw). Tips, tricks and things to look out for are greatly appreciated, since I'm still new at this.

Hi cynroux, did you finish this? I couldn't find another post saying you did, but I didn't search all that thoroughly. I made this dress last year to wear to a wedding. I didn't have any problems with the pattern but wearing it was a PAIN. Because the front doesn't actually attach to the back, whenever I sat down the overlay parts fell and I flashed large chunks of my petticoat. I need to make a back for the underlay before I wear it again.

Apologies for the washed out phone photo.

Wow that is pretty and you look like Dita in the last pic! Hope you don't mind me saying that, I know not everybody enjoys that a comparison.
