Vogue 6066 Marian's Unbelievable Uplift Bosom Brassieres 1947

Just an awesome pattern to feature today - that was listed on Tuesday but I didn't get a chance to post. A long holiday weekend equals alot of mail to ship: Vogue 6066 Marian's Unbelievable Uplift Bosom Brassieres 1947. Marian Maier owned this and a big thank you to her for keeping this spectacular pattern. I will be listing a number of them for a few weeks. Uniquely her patterns are regular to plus sized. The larger sizes are so hard to find, especially when they are as fashionable as Marian's patterns are.

Speaking of which! Mail Order 3092 Adorable Apron with Apple Pocket 1940's for apple lovers. Perfect to wear while making an apple pie or cobbler. Marian had a number of apron patterns I still have to sort thru so keep an eye out.

The best of today's listing is this Advance 9512 Head Snapper Dress with Huge Full Skirt / ca. 1960 - not one of Marian's but still a show stopper.

Here's another of Marian's beauties that went in today: Simplicity 3649 Fab Forties' Housecoat & Dress / ca. 1941 a refined yet modest look. The long version looks a bit dressy to be a housecoat aka robe but with the right fabric it could be a lovely dinner out dress.

All of Marian's patterns have some wear to the covers but all the pieces are in new or like new condition. Maybe some age discoloration but the condition is so refreshing. So many of these older patterns are so fragile and worn it's scary to use them but no worries for Marian's!

For newer patterns this Vogue 2255 Smooth Jacket, Dress, Halter Top, Skirt & Pants 1999 has alot of variables. Casual or dressy or career. Just a nice combo.
