I ordered some vintage patterns and they arrived today!
Maybe it is watching too much Mad Men, maybe it is just because these kinds of dresses are super-flattering for my figure, but I can't wait to sew them.

I have tried to find dresses like this in stores, but I can't. I find one of two things instead. Either the top half of the dress like these, but then the skirt is above the knee, which looks terrible on me. OR I do find something like this at a store like Anthropologie, but the dress is about $250.00 and it isn't quite what I want because they have made it more modern.
Next up: All vintage all the time. Look at the poof on Betty's skirt. I love that. It is completely impractical for wearing to the office, but I like it just the same.

That is so nice of you! I like your blog, too - I am now following you on Bloglovin. I like the randomness of the posts. It is whatever is catching your eye at the time. Very creative. I think I will make the recipe with Mexican squash.
