I went on a bit of a Swirl bender and got two more. I can't help myself!

One is pink and the seller's deleted the photos! Drat!

The other one is this one:

I love that dress. The print is lovely.

A pleasant surprise in the mail box today. I keep a continuous eye out on eBay for cotton stockings in my size, since they're invaluable for everyday wear, and last week won a "new old stock" pair for $8.50. That's a pretty good price, considering that Vermont Country Store used to sell them for $11 a pair. Well, they arrived today and as soon as I opened the package I knew they *weren't* cotton at all. Apparently the seller was fooled by the cotton welt and sole, but the rest of the stocking is silk.

The packet listed them as Sears Royal Purples, style number 555, and a quick check of Sears catalogues found them listed in the 1938 Spring/Summer edition as service-weight silks, which are much more durable than sheers. But I don't think I'll be wearing these to clean out the garage.

I have this same pattern and made the version with the capped sleeves (I guess that is what they are called) attached for a dance coming up... It turned out great and I'm in love with this pattern... may even have to make the halter version for everyday wear.

This was my first ever sewing project so for those of you that don't really sew If I can do it anyone can...

There is a Mens purchases thread, Marc.

You might get greater appreciation for it there.

Drat, I don't live near a monsoon shop. I used to enjoy browsing around in there.

Sorry about that. A brain lapse. I'll post it there and delete the post that's here.

That is such a cute dress - I just love polka dots!

Thank you so much, sadly it was damaged and I had to return it

That is such a shame - hopefully something similar pops up for you soon.

Fleur De Guerre - that pink dress is gorgeous on you - great photo!

Fleur,
Looks like we share a love of the Swirl.
Hey do you remember that really funky swirl a like? I know it was on your watch list for a while. I can't seem to find a pic of it...I wanted to offer to you. I am overwhelmed by the dress the pattern and the length are too much on my short frame. It comes nearly to the floor on me.
