So.... my lose your gain.

Would there by any usefulness to maintaining a separate thread here of patterns, by make and number (preferably with a pic) that have eluded us? I know we have had an effort to keep up a pattern swap thread, but it may be helpful to have a place simply to put info about our most...
Has anyone placed an order for woolens with Holland and Sherry? I sent an inquiry to their American contact by email a few days ago and haven't gotten any response. Do they sell direct to the public?
Thanks!

I've been following some of the recent threads relative to the lack of menswear patterns with interest. I've spoken with Alexandra of www.EvaDress.com about expanding the availability of reproduced menswear patterns. If you are familiar with her shop, you already know that whe has an amazing...
I was out today and found a stack of 30s and 40s dresses in larger bust sizes (44in mostly). They were all $10 or less. I didn't pick them up, b/c they weren't my size, but then thought some of the ladies here might like them.
Would there be any takers if I went back and got them? I know it...
Salute to Ms. Bette Davis on the 100th anniversary of her birth (April 5, 1908)!
Her epitaph reads, "She did it the hard way." Hard way or not, Bette Davis did it her way. And while she had her detractors over the years -- and for some people her films are an acquired taste -- there's no...

I'm putting together a cigarette girl look for a USO event this summer. I have this pattern as a starting point as it has something of a "uniform" feel to me...

I'm looking for a pair of satin mules boudoir heels in the style of Daniel Green and coming up flat. Every pair of the bay of actual Daniel Green's is either too small, too narrow, too worn or too expensive and I'm not overly fond of the mirabeau feather variety. Anyone have any suggestions...
I'm looking for a pic of a ladies' hat with a pleated crown to show a milliner I've been doing business with.
I have in mind a 30s style with a moderate size brim. Does anyone have a pic of a hat like that they could share with me?
Thanks

I've seen some ladies talk about these. What are the benefits as opposed to a foam roller?
I'm going to sound silly, but why do they call them "magnetic"?

Hi ladies!
I just bought a pair of ReMix's pleated toe wedges and soooo recommend them! Hubby and I are going to a USO dance next month and I'd like to wear them as they are very danceable, but also want to wear my seamed stockings.
Can I wear seamed stockings with wedges, or is it an...
I am sooooo frustrated!
I know I've come across a repro pattern for a hawaiian style/sarong dress. I keep going back to this one at EvaDress http://www.evadress.com/108.html
But I'm sure I saw the same or similar at a site where there were different sizes of it available. Does anyone know...
