I love Foyle's War, although I admit I have no idea what any of the Assistant Commissioners' names are :(.<br /><br />I started following your blog because my teen daughter, also Lily, has fallen in love with 1950's fashion. Vintage fashion is hard enough to buy under normal circumstances, but my Lily is 5'11.5" and very short waisted, so custom sewn is really her only option. I just finished her the Tia Dress pattern from Sew Chic (http://www.sewchicpatterns.com/tia.html) last week, but I am still working on the crinoline to make it look as it should.<br /><br />Anyway, thank you for your blog and especially for the all the details and photographs on it.Robin E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08578127262983129205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-63391415167576303282015-02-25T13:07:50.788-06:002015-02-25T13:07:50.788-06:00SO MUCH FUN!!!

All the dresses are so lovely too!<br />I know it's a comedy and not entirely historically accurate, but have you ever seen "'Allo 'Allo!"? It's a British series from the 80s based in German-occupied France during WWII, and it always always makes me smile!

The bunting is adorable! (And NO you can't have too much!) My sister, Beth, got me some paper Emma Bridgewater Union Jack bunting for Christmas. (From England, what?!) Yeah, she's a good gift giver. <br /><br />I just love 1940s fashion & am working on a "Your Victory Jumper" from a free WW2 pattern from the Victoria & Albert Museum website! (Although, I'm not making it in red, white, & blue...)<br /><br />Great post. I really enjoyed seeing all the little details you gals put into everything. Kinda makes me want to have a themed party!

Just because I need one. ;) <br />I've never seen Foyle's War, but I'm definitely going to look into it after hearing about it! <br />I just love all of the pretty dresses that I see in the pictures! Your parents definitely are cute. I'm going to have to make my dad get his dress hat out! ;)Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15235395280071814298noreply@blogger.com
