Every time I look at pattern prices now, I feel like I can buy something on the rack for the price of the pattern. ^_^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7043247847121448066.post-51296789034256625452010-08-16T02:09:26.467-07:002010-08-16T02:09:26.467-07:00You can still buy similar apron's here in Fran...You can still buy similar apron's here in France, mostly worn by older women to do their chores. So I don't find it surprising that some of them would be designed by Cardin when he was young.CarmencitaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052726816809035850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7043247847121448066.post-18475367866454673692010-08-13T08:14:22.028-07:002010-08-13T08:14:22.028-07:00I've become a big fan of these apron-y, smock-...I've become a big fan of these apron-y, smock-y, blouse-y, items of clothing. This one isn't so much my style because it would absolutely not be flattering on me (my figure asset is in my waist, but I definitely need "free" hips), but I recently acquired <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/littleblackcar/4842513786/" rel="nofollow">Advance 6464</a> (circa 1952) and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/littleblackcar/4627340664/" rel="nofollow">Anne Adams 4743</a> (1957 postmark), which is a wrap dress that also bills itself as a possible tunic-top. I'm rather sad that they didn't come back into vogue when capri pants and ballet flats did.Little Black Carhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313164876855565140noreply@blogger.com
