But it didn't work out well for me, so I'm going to modify it (super tight waistband and unflattering pleats). There are some great patterns from the 40s, you can even try looking for vintage pajama pants as they seem to pretty much be cut the same way as far as I can tell.Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509701797671179274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-79631800045182169872009-07-12T15:55:42.768-04:002009-07-12T15:55:42.768-04:00Thanks for the tip, Nehmah!

I've also had my eye on some Decades of Style patterns, so I'll have to give those a go as well.<br /><br />Joan, I think I'd like to be a full-time blogger! Alas, it's back to work this Thursday.

As you say, "She could wear pants." I didn't know of any chic "grown-up" in the 1940s who didn't copy her every look. None made it. She was one of a kind.
