Watch List: Vintage Pattern

On my watch list:
A favorite vintage silhouette of mine.
Very 30's, so Thin Man. All they need are a couple of martinis in their hands.
Love the 2 sleeves options and look at the back detail on the rear.


Swanky.
The auction for this great vintage pattern ends July 22nd.

In case you did not know that NRA symbol at the right comes from Depression Era legislation called the National Recovery Act. It only lasted from 1933-35 before the act was declared unconstitutional.

Vintage Sportswear Workshop

Lizzie Bramlett of fuzzylizzie Vintage Clothing will be doing a sportswear workshop on The Vintage Fashion Guild's public forum this week, June 23-25th.

June 23-25: American Sportswear

Monday, June 23: The workshop will start with a brief historical overview and go on to discuss bathing suits.

Tuesday, June 24: Lizzie will explain how sportswear evolved in private situations, such as women's colleges and summer camps.

Wednesday, June 25: Day three will be devoted to active sportswear (tennis, bicycling, golf, hiking, skiing) and how active sportswear spilled over into the everyday lives of women. Sportswear greats, such as Claire McCardell, Carolyn Schurner and Tom Brigance, will be mentioned.

Make time to spend sometime reading and taking part in this virtual workshop.
