My sentiments exactly! Nothing like Cary Grant to spice up a day! My favorite is "An Affair to Remember" with Deborah Kerr.
I just realized your quote under your posts is from that Irving Berlin song, "Let's Have Another Cup O' Coffee" from 1932. I was just looking at that song the other...
And, last one, a day of shopping.
I just realized these are all much larger than I had them sized--I had them set to 3 by 5 inches---sorry!!! If a moderator can pull these and resize them that would be great!
My friend sent me these paper dolls from a movie made in 1942, "Honeymoon in Paris." The setting was 1938, and starred Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers. I thought it would be fun to share the images to give us inspiration in their attire.
Here is the cover:
And here are the dolls...
My internal censor went off later on, after I posted my knee-jerk response to have the CDR. Is this infringing on any copyright? If it's all o.k. then a copy would be nice.
Thanks!
I love the 2nd pair! I just found a grey wool hat at an antique mall for $6.00 the other day, and those grey suedes would look awfully cute with it!
Thanks for the link!
Wow! 20 minutes or less! I'm so impressed! Your hair looks so great. I love the side/back view picture. Can you tell us your technique for the 2nd/3rd picture's style? I would like to attempt some kind of up-do sometime.
And your daughter is an absolute doll! Look out, world!
Your grandparents sound like that movie, "Blast from the Past"! And you have original patterns? Wow! I am desperately looking for one I can make an evening dress from! They are very hard to come by. I admire your ability to sew all your clothing---my abilities are very basic, and I have a 2...

Thanks! Unfortunately, I have about a 2 hour limit with my sewing machine. After that, we tend to disagree with one-another. I don't have a good background in sewing. Thankfully, I have family that can help.
I have a day off today and I am headed to an antique mall to get a fix. Maybe...
This question may be "preaching to the choir" here in the powder room. :) But it is a good question. It got me to thinking, "what is classically feminine?" Well first, what is feminine? And second, what is classically feminine?
I would venture to guess that most of the powder room gals...
three evening dresses? Will you be changing in the middle of one night, or are you staying for 3 nights?
I sometimes joke with my husband that I will change clothes frequently throughout the evening, but I never do. I remember being disappointed in high school that we had to change out of...
