Darhling, maybe I've missed something here, but tell me about your suit? What brand is it, where did it come from, etc? Or is it custom?

I can't find it at all. For some reason, I have a really, really hard time finding Ebay stores.

Darhling, is the jacket lined?

Sorry I'm asking so many questions... I may be applying for new jobs in the next few months and I only have one suit that is about 15 years old. Lord only knows if it still fits.

No no, as away! The jacket is lined, very nicely I think for its price to be considered. I'll take some detailed pics of the jacket for you and Eve later today. The skirt is lined too.

I've been shopping!!!!!! Ok so it was online, but still awesome! First I got two Etiquette books, one from 1938 the other from 1942:




And then I've gotten 7 new sewing patterns:




better pic of what this looks like:


and why I bought that one:

look at that neck line!

That's it for now, now I need to get sewing and I think this will warrant some new shoes and hats!
I'm pretty sure that having unrestricted access to the internet at work and loads of free time is not a good mix, at least for my wallet.
