you should definitely do the josephine baker banana skirt! and it seems like it would be relatively easy to make with fake plastic fruit.

that may be helpful... thanks sweetie.

Oooooh. sehrnett October 27 2005, 09:35:53 UTC

I am glad I cannot view most of her stuff. It is far too pretty for a feather loving woman.

Oooh, nice! sehrnett October 27 2005, 09:45:59 UTC

Very nice.

I wish I could help. How big is the model?

I have a very pretty see through beaded chemise dress from the 1920's. Peach colored. It is pretty tiny, maybe a size 4. I'ld be happy to loan it to you. it sin't an exact match to anything here. Just pretty.

Re: Oooh, nice! vivavanstory October 27 2005, 09:53:57 UTC

She's bigger then size 4.. but thank you! I'm probably going to hit every vintage clothing store I can find for this one.

It's a toughie because they were high end outfits. sehrnett October 27 2005, 11:46:28 UTC

You need something in heavy satin and bias cut at the bare minimum.

Do you sew?

I have a vintage wedding dress. It is from the thiries and beige heavy satin, very fitted up top with a huge train. It has some beading (beige and brown) on it, but it doesn't look like a wedding dress. I bought it for the fabric in high school. It is about a size 10. Buttons up the back in satin covered buttons. It even has matching fingerless gloves.

As long as the train wasn't damaged, I would not be adverse to the top being altered.

I'll have to go back and see what size she said she was?? The dress sounds beautiful.

completely off-topic, but did you see Top Model last night...they turned the girls into modern-day pinup girls.

I saw the ad. sehrnett October 27 2005, 13:56:55 UTC

A hell of a lot nicer looking than most of the looks they put on them.
