At MagsRags.net, an 80s evening dress that seems inspired by Barbie's iconic 1960s Solo in the Spotlight dress. It's by Karen Okada for David Howard Climax.

Oh it does it does!
 
SWANKY Male Model!!!

Thanks! Actually my model Freddie is non binary - their name was Chloe when I knew them when they were a little girl. Freddie doesn't identify as either male or female. Freddie and also their non binary sibling both being on my model team, are a big part of the reason I am no longer gendering my inventory - to the extent that that's possible.

Gender is such a fluid thing for people these days and a lot of the young people I work with are just looking for fun clothes for their body, no matter what gender the clothes were originally made for. But swanky, yes, lol, they would like that compliment! :)

That opened a thought - I have been taking off gender references when I list my vintage sewing patterns; 'Misses and Women's' but I keep 'Juniors, Petites and Half-Size" I also do not use of 'girls coat or boys cowboy shirt' I just use child. Any other pointers are appreciated.
