Tikisoo Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 ...for $1! (well, Syracuse is a depressed rust belt area) I spotted it and took a chance it may be what it seemed to be; a pattern for a dress Jane Wyatt wore in a film. This morning I did some internet sleuthing and found: http://www.antiquetrader.com/articles/movies/vintage_hollywood_movie_star_sewing_patterns Wow-all this talk about beautiful costumes in films and there you are! An ebay search yielded several interesting patterns available-including a GWTW group! If you have the talent to cut & sew a pattern, you'll have enough know-how to retro fit a dress to your own size. What fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casablancalover2 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 That is so cool! There are a few costumes (circa to the 1950's) that I think would be fun to wear around the parties now. The imagination reels, and what a great story for an ice breaker at a party. Time to dust off the old sewing machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Over the years I have known and partied with some women who loved wearing vintage dresses/outfits they found at thrift or vintage stores. Being the Hollywood area where these shops were at, they sometimes wondered if the original owners might've been a name back in the day. Needless to say, their glamorous getups were at minimum conversation starters, and often great crowd pleasers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
