I was wondering how you managed to find all these patterns so quickly.<br /><br />Oh and you must check out this post about 'The Best of Everything' movie. Lots of lovely shots of the clothes...mmmm.<br />http://sweetsundaymornings.blogspot.com/2009/07/best-of-everything-1959.html<br /><br />Kittykittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04243982148535889437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-77212411592325308122009-07-17T12:14:06.275-04:002009-07-17T12:14:06.275-04:00And her prices are INcrediblly decent!

That one would be priced A LOT higher somewhere else but no one's going to find it there.lsaspaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058968076601943527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-58691095023921146942009-07-17T11:27:05.977-04:002009-07-17T11:27:05.977-04:00Cindy, my handy little trick is that I set up goog...Cindy, my handy little trick is that I set up google alerts for all the patterns I'm searching for. You get an e-mail anytime a search brings up a new item with that term. It's pretty awesome, though it does bring in a lot of unrelated stuff too. But overall, I've found a bunch of patterns that way.<br /><br />The formal is pretty amazing, huh? Do you think I could get away with shortening it to knee length? Or woudl that be straying too far from the original? I just have absolutely no need for a floor length gown in my life!Gertiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314542159287533507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-56646900289173224332009-07-17T10:43:07.487-04:002009-07-17T10:43:07.487-04:00That is good detective work!So glad to hear.

It is time consuming! <br /><br />Can't wait for you to make the formal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
