Great stuff, everybody! I sent the link to my mom for fun (love those bikinis!) and she bought one of the patterns straight away. There's no stopping her since I introduced her to Etsy and Ruby Lane...

Joules, what a cool dress! I just love Finnish design, but that's a brand I haven't heard of before. It means "Pia and Paula" in English by the way - don't know if you knew that.

Karin, I knew that must be your Mom! She is wonderful to deal with. Thanks so much!

 

[Midge]

You're welcome. Our tastes often run in the same direction when it comes to vintage, so it's easily possible that I spot something that she might like :duh:. And you can be sure she will use the pattern.

Hi,

What fabulous things you all have been showing. Yum!

Although my Titanic Era, Edwardian straw hat is older than what everyone else is showing here, it surely could have been worn to a beach resort such as walking the cliffs of Newport, the beaches of the South Of France, or even the boardwalk in Atlantic City in its day. Or aboard a steamer headed for an exotic locale. Ahhh!

Grand Edwardian Straw Hat w Silk Ribbon

 

[denisebrain]

Fabulous indeed!

I have these Pucci sunglasses:

Hawaiian cropped top and sarong-style skirt:

Brigance for Sinclair bathing suit (along with a matching dress)

 

[joules]

Karin, I'm really happy you like the dress, and thank you so much! I had figured that out, somehow or another, and I will add that to the description too.

Here are some neat 70s Christian Dior Oversize optyl Frames NOS

 

[mingus107]

Good Lord, Pam!!! Those bathing suits are incredible!!

 

[Circa Vintage Clothing]

Fabulous stuff everyone!

It's summer right here, right now in Australia and these all look fabulous - especially compared to the black jersey dress I'm wearing today. Perhaps I should head down to the beach instead?

Tiffany, I especially love your sunglasses! Really loving white frames at the moment.
