Newly Listed Dresses & Suits from the 40's & 50's

1940's Butterick 4266 Two-Piece Dressmaker Suit Size 14 - Bust 32

Here is a sweet & sophisticated suit pattern that I came across today and listed. It has a peplum type jacket that I just adore! You can get this one at Your Pattern Shop.



Butterick 8089 Vintage 1950s Portrait Collar Rockabilly Dress Pattern B36


I just love the necklines on this pattern, especially that Portrait neckline!


This gorgeous one can be found at Cemetarian along with many, many others!










1951 Vogue Couturier 620 Yoked Slot-Seam Dress Sewing Pattern B34


Here is another beauty at Stitches & Loops along with many other gorgeous vintage patterns!






1957 Simplicity 2321 Dress & Cummerbund Size 14


I just found this little beauty at Patternmania2. I love the U shape back neckline along with those bouffant sleeves. I'm not real fond of bright yellow, but I think it looks great with dress!

1940's Sweet, Classy & Sophisticated Suits

Here are two wonderful patterns from the 1940's. Both suits are beautifully tailored. I just love them long slender skirts, although I only envision 6' tall women wearing them, not someone like me that is only 5' tall!

Are these pockets for breastfeeding?

I really like this simple little outfit, a real simple blouse and skirt, but the model on the right, with her little blouse, them pockets just don't do it for me, maybe with a pair of jeans or maybe if I were breastfeeding or something, but not with this graceful skirt! All I can see is the pocket being unbuttoned and a breast falling out!

Covering Hickies!

Oh Betty, "I have a problem, the husband and I got a little friskie last night, does this scarf cover them hickies on my neck?"

Ever get that not so fresh feeling?

Duh! That is why I am wearing this red dress!
