Those are amazing!

OH GOD THE 80's!

I remember when all that stuff was so rad.
I will deny ever wearing shoulder pads or puffy sleeves. You can't prove it! ;)

OH MY GOD NOOOO YOU NEED TO POST PICTURES ASAP
lolz i hated shoulder pads even when they were in style.

hahahaha that's awesome. i always love hearing about people with the same name as me, although i've yet to meet one who meets up to my standards so i'm usually horrified. lauren is a name of good people, but once you slap the last name in there, that's when the crazies come out.

Don't know if you know about this, but I just found this thing: someone posted about old school embroidery, and it has a whole whack of patterns for various things. Antique Pattern Library

I absolutely looove the new one you just bought: simplicity 1617 (1954). SO CUTE. WANT.

Also, simplicity 7635 (1968) is so cuuuute! If you ever got to make dresses for selling/a show again, this would be ADORABLE. Totally understandable if it doesn't work on you, though; I'm not sure if it would work on me either. I tend to prefer things with defined waists or else I want to cinch belt it. But still waaaant.

And I want vogue 7313 (1988)'s red skirt SO BAD. It is ridiculous!

I have a whack of old patterns (most from the 80s, I think) from when my mom used to sew. If you wanted any of them, I'd love to send them to you sometime. I should have money one day soon, so wee! And now I'm going to go dig out those patterns to see if there is anything cute! (I know there is, like, neon tracksuits in there. WOW.)

oh man, i had seen that website but i'd completely forgotten about it. YES! thank you for the re-link :D

i just got 1617 in the mail today, so imma try to make it once i move (bc it is too cold in here to sew!) and that vogue pattern, omfg.

i love old patterns, esp from the 80s so will TOTALLY take them if you want to send them to me :D just tell me how much shipping is and i'll paypal you some cash$$$. haha i hope there are tracksuits in there, i need a custom tracksuit.
