I'm not so great a sewer so am throwing together some vintage I have which fits the bill. RE: your 70's pants, you'd be surprised at how the 30's styles cropped up again in the 70's and 80's - 2 of my outfits are from that era but fit perfectly to the 30's style! I have two 20's style and two 30's style outfits planned, just need a few more accessories. I'll see you at the Silver Slipper Ball (I'll be the one in a 10year old black velvet Trelise Cooper made to look like a 20's ball gown!)JessieGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281220105765950860.post-62448708984233724762015-10-25T20:46:00.893+11:002015-10-25T20:46:00.893+11:00How fabulous!

I live in a goldfields town with a tourist steam train, and always feel I should be better dressed at the station. Also, there are always vintage and classic cars here, so I'd have plenty of photo ops.<br />Look forward to seeing your creations with hreat interest!kushamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348980220982246051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281220105765950860.post-48209114663323597442015-09-07T03:49:53.038+10:002015-09-07T03:49:53.038+10:00Wow, what amazing patterns you have picked.

I too adore beach pyjamas and made a pair based on a 60/70s spadea number. they are good fun, but be careful going up any steps.............i have decided they are for leaning against verrandas etc............ and definitely not for running up a stairs!eimearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953042771647853865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281220105765950860.post-31700943053538080492015-08-25T19:11:59.381+10:002015-08-25T19:11:59.381+10:00That is so fabulously awesome!!!
