The Striped skirt and top are a favorite too because I have been looking for patterns for day time dresses and I think something like that would be perfect.

The number of wool fabrics with names I had never seen was astonishing to me. Part of that I think is that the 30s and 40s was pre-central heating and air conditioning so the need for really light weight wools for months like October, November, March and early April was important. Now, if you can find a lightweight wool crepe or wool gauze, you're lucky.Toby Wollinhttp://www.kitchencountereconomics.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-14839422180613438442011-04-06T14:58:11.371+01:002011-04-06T14:58:11.371+01:00Oh my goodness what a lovely gift!
