More Vintage Fashion

I love these suits. I love 1950's fashions. I'm trying to figure out how to wear clothes from the 50's without being dated or obvious. I guess I'll just have to give it a try.
I wonder if I could get a pattern for this type of suit...

Things I love about 50's couture...

The wonderful full+circle skirts.

I also like the hour glass lines, it makes the waist look smaller than it is.

Glamour...

I wonder how many yards of material it took to make that skirt? Isn't this a cool pic?

Vintage Vogue 2267

Gack! Someone tell me to get off of ebay! I was fiddling around looking at stuff when I spotted this pattern. It's a vintage vogue reprint of a dress/bolero set from 1954. Drool. I was just going to post it for picture purposes, but in the end broke down and bought it like the compulsive shopper that I am at heart. This dress is gorgeous, and the cool illustrations are my waterloo. I love them. I like the full skirts and 1950's fashions drive me crazy. I want them to come back! Also, this pattern looks easy to make. Yay. I am used to multi-sized patterns, so I had to really check the sizes carefully to make sure that I got the right one. I'll have to make lots of dresses now. :) Hard fate. Vintage here I come.
