  1. I REALLY want that dress and I'll take her waist size too. I'm sewing clothes today. :)

  2. I love the dress too...wish I had the pattern. And the waist...well, I haven't had a waist that small since I was born!

  5. Anne -- I enjoy them too.

    Michelle -- I kind of like the hat! Though she does look a bit like an acorn.

  6. Love that outfit! Can't get over the waist though, it seems barely wider than her head?

  7. Readers, look at this photo of a 1950s corset and bullet bra. THIS was how such a silhouette was achieved: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vintagevogue/3201247777/
