And the mom, who was quite a tom boy herself, living on a ranch, could not figure out how such a dress-loving, pink-wearing, little lady had come into their midst!<br /><br />McCalls 4381 - I sewed that dress about 6 times: one prom dress, and then a set of bridesmaid dresses! It always looked good on everyone.

Yours sound so much prettier!<br /><br />Tilly, I am expecting a birth announcement anytime now! :) I can't wait to hear what you may be having! If you have a girl you may end up with an infant-sized version of one of these 1950's patterns! ;) Thanks for the tip on the bra. I've never done halter before, but am thinking they would be comfortable and cool for around the house wear this summer. It just gets SO HOT here!<br /><br />Jenny, that would be fun! I have a feeling we'll only have boys, but who knows! David really wants a girl. I think he is hinting - last night we were watching a PBS program and he got a happy smile on his face when there were a few little girls running around on t.v. "If we have a little girl, do you think she'd look like that?" he asked. "I think she'd look like one of her brothers." I said. <br /><br />I can't wait to see what little dresses and things you will make your little girl! Not much longer to go for you, either!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713535191616985475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-72615063169628859882011-03-29T08:16:39.889-05:002011-03-29T08:16:39.889-05:00Congratulations on having a special day together. ...Congratulations on having a special day together. That sounds so refreshing :)<br /><br />I ADORE those little girl's patterns. I've collected some through the years, just because they're so charming. I do hope you have your little girl :) Our girlies can play together!Jenny P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08782928646278570671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-91221989674131780232011-03-28T12:48:24.748-05:002011-03-28T12:48:24.748-05:00Fun!! I can't believe it's nearly April......Fun!! I can't believe it's nearly April...I'm due on Thursday!! Yikes!<br /><br />For under a halter, look for a "convertible" bra. It's like a strapless bra in a sense, but it has straps that can be removed and rearranged... here is an example (modeled though fyi)<br />http://www5.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=PRD&ItemID=1398bd7&DeptID=70659&CatID=71387&SO=0&SelDim=586~&x5view=1&NOffset=0&Ne=3+11+8+5+586+1031+18+904+949+833&shopperType=G&N=4294953584+4294963848&Nao=0&PSO=0&CmCatId=70659|71387<br /><br />Happy sewing!Mackenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573352650363400811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-75681476972811424222011-03-28T11:27:45.423-05:002011-03-28T11:27:45.423-05:00How funny, I wore the simplicity 7569 top in jr hi...How funny, I wore the simplicity 7569 top in jr high, my grandmother sewed it for me, what a blast from the pastAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16479492932349522521noreply@blogger.com
