I'm the current lead bidder on

I can't wait to get it so I can start doing something with it. I know it's not modern by at least 45 years but I think it's cute. If the right materials are used, there is nothing saying it couldn't pass as somewhat modern. God I love the fashions of the 50's and 60's.

Michelle - that is so CUTE!!

Just remember sizes ran smaller then, so you may have to adjust your pattern somewhat. But if you're brave enough to sew it, you probably already know that. Hope you take photos when it's done so we can see it!

That is really cute Michelle! You must be a very talented seamstress to be able to make stuff like this - I'm very impressed! Yes, a photo of the finished article would be fab! And actually, I think the style is bang up to date - everything is cinched in waists with belts and more taylored styles for the spring you know - and not to mention yours will be all bespoke and unique!

That's why I picked out one that came in a larger size. It's easier to tailor it smaller than to piecemeal it to a larger fit. Let's hope it works out ok. I'll have to do a muslin version of it first to make sure I understand how it's supposed to come together then I'll work on with better materials.
