Pink, that must have taken you forever to hand paint those dots.

It was well worth the effort though because that dress looks fabulous on you!! I love the buttons going down the side of it.


Happy and sad news on my eBay experience while under the influence of Tylenol PM. I was outbid on the dress I wanted to be outbid on but I was also outbid on the dress I didn't want to be outbid on.

 

[Pink Dahlia]

Ha ha, thanks! Yeah it took a couple days. My hand kept cramping so I couldn't work on it straight through. I guess that's part of the reason it's not done.

Aren't the buttons great! One of the reasons I bought it.

What clothing size would be a size 44 inch bust. Does anyone know.

Check out this sticky. It has a lot of vintage FAQ's and also vintage sizing information. Hope this helps

 

[Trixie]

Oh you suck it up and walk in them!

Those shoes are great!

HA HA HA!! Easy for you to say since you've never seen my patented trip over my own feet, drop everything in my hands, kneel down to pick them up, knock over the clothing rack with my rear, bang my head on the clothing rack in the front while trying to stand up move. And that's flat shoes! Snort

By the way you look fabulous in the polka dot dress! But wow that's a lot of work fixing up those dots!

Good grief I've been so bad this weekend (but its for the greater good ;0 ) I've bought 9 different patterns including this one which I was really pleased about as its the same as a suit I got outbid for on ebay

and these I just couldnt resist

 

[Fleur De Guerre]

Ooh amber I've got that first pattern, I haven't been brave enough to start it! Let me know how you get on!

 

[Grace]

Amber, I am dying over that last pattern you posted!! Is it a repro? It's fantastic! Especially done in black and white. Me-ow!

 

[Amber DeCadence]

Grace, I got all my vintage patterns this weekend from a US ebay seller called sew-n-sewpatterns I cant wait to get started on the last one as it looks so simple (apparantly lol) I hope that helps some

Fleur I'll keep you posted

OOhh, I'm heading to Target right now!! Hmm, maybe I'll check online first, aw what the heck I need to get out a bit! Besides, Peeps are on sale there too and Target has red ones made especially for them, yum! (My Jewish parents love the fact that I'm addicted to Easter candy!)

 

[Amber DeCadence]

oh that dress is lovely! ok though, as a Brit I need to ask - what are Peeps? sorry but its always been a word I use for people, now theres another meaning?!

 

[Pink Dahlia]

fftopic:

And these:

Just to clear up any confusion. lol

 

[Amber DeCadence]

[Pink Dahlia]

Oh do you not have Peeps there? Well that's a crime against humanity!

[Cherry_Bombb]

Amber- I just got that last pattern too! I'm in the process of making the black and white option in a navy, red, and white hawaiian print with a navy front panel. It's a gorgeous dress!!

Ok, I'm back from a quick trip to Target. I got the above black and white floral dress, it's actually quite well made and was 20%off. They also had a very cute cream with brown small polka dot shirtwaist dress with a contrasting brown and cream polka dot belt. Very cute, I'm glad I went to the store, for they didn't have this dress on line. However, they do have a bigger selection online and sale prices do apply. Also they have free shipping on anything over $50 so if you buy two dresses, it should be free to ship. I was kind of disappointed that a lot of the dresses they are selling online they don't actually have in the store near me. So, if anybodies thinking of taking a trip in the hopes of getting some things you saw on their website, it might end up being a waste of time
Oh, and they no longer have red peeps!:rage:

 

[Daisy Buchanan]

lol thankyou, you've just set my sweet tooth tingling

Oh, that's a crime against humanity to not have access to Peeps!! They are marshmallow shaped chicks and bunnies, and then they are coated with colored sanding sugar, as if the marshmallow wasn't sweet enough on it's own! They used to just be out during the Easter season when I was growing up, but now they make them for every holiday imaginable (except Passover).
PM me your address if you'd like and I will send you a few boxes Just make sure you brush well after eating (that's the dental hygienist in me again!)

Sorry to go so off topic I'll be good from here on out, I promise

That's funny, Daisy. I've found that some things they have in the store they don't have online. Like the pink Isaac dress. Hmm... [huh]
