Brilliant Claire, congratulations!! :drinkingtoast:

I think its wonderfully weird myself :clapping:Love the print placement too.

Karin, bravo on such a fabulous sewing job on those dresses, love them!. And I also loved your london find, its adorable :sunshine:

Hi Ruby, what a stunning wedding dress!. I think it is more likely to be mid-late 1950s myself, the sleeve and collar detail on it reminds me strongly of my mothers wedding gown from around the mid 50s . Hopefully one of our Canadian members will recognise the label for you which will help date...

Good to know its just not me then having red digital camera issues :)

Melody that purse is wonderful, I love it!!

My camera still cant cope with red I must upgrade soon !!!

Fabulous jacket! I think its 70's doing 30's myself with that back strap at the waist, or perhaps very late 60s .

:wub:

I vote 60's too- the leg is not 70's at all to me, but they are fabulous!

I agree MS , and I am still in the 30s camp on this- and I have had the same kind of 'lot' label in 40s clothing myself.

You know what I would do? Get some beautiful devorre silk velvet in a delicate floral pattern , and applique cascades of flowers over it to hide the moth holes. I think that could look really neat myself!

Get it on!!

Awesome! I may just have to listen to T-Rex and Bowie this morning after seeing all of these!

Beautiful garment- wow! It has to be jacket surely, I love that fabric and the bound buttonholes are such a nice touch!

Melanie you might be onto something here with the alteration idea- but perhaps it originally was a lace gown that has been altered? I still think 30's myself- but is the lace rayon or cotton? or is it nylon?

Hi Cherie,:hiya: So glad you found us, and also that you are Australian- I am in Brisbane and Nicole and I fly the flag for Australia here! You are so right about size 14-16 being hard to find, but Nicole's web shop could be your first port of call I would think!. I look forward to seeing more...

Gosh that's a beautiful piece! I would go 1930s on this one, lets see what the rest of the team think. I would call this a bust bodice rather than a bra too. :)

Karin, I don't knit either, but yes down here in the Colonies in Australia :sunshine: we followed everything the way it was done in the UK whether it was good or bad!! I am sure the others are spot on with their replies.

Me Too!! :drinking2: Wonderful Treasury Mary!

Wow, that swimsuit is SO Gidget!! :wub:

Lauren that dress is SO beautiful, what a find!

HI Liza, I have had some White Stag garments from the early 1970s over the years, and I think your shorts are likely to be 1970s as well ;)

I had a feeling that might be the secret Nicole-oh I wish!! :drinking2:

Hi Karin, I love selling patterns as apart from counting the pieces- they are so quick and easy to list, and nice and cheap to post. My current pattern listings are below. I have sold some children's pattern's over the years especially 40's one seem to go well- men's don't tend to do so well in...

Well thanks Laurie, yours are awesome too!
