Green Dress: Only thirty more seconds, Gladys, and you'll win!
Floral Dress: Are you sure? Am I the last one standing?
Green Dress: Nobody else has a Frisbee on her head.
Floral Dress: Wait. Something's fishy. Are you sure this was a contest? Was there *ever* anyone else with a Frisbee on her head?
Green Dress: Oh, Gladys. Why would I lie to you about something as important as The First Annual Garden Club Frisbee-Hat-Balancing Contest? Ooh! I'll be right back, I think I see Amy …
Floral Dress: Doris, I'm going to wait twenty more seconds, just in case you weren't pulling my leg. And then you're going to see *stars*.

I think Dior started the frisbee hat prank in 1947, and it took awhile to run its course, obviously.

Im curious to know if one had to remove the hat in order to walk through a doorway; turning sideways would not be an option considering the diameter/round shape… and Erin, thank you so much for your very kind words! Im humbled!

Oooh Gypsegrl, Id just set up a ban on anymore patterns and you go and bring that one up! Youve got to love those cats-eye specs (and the long-sleeved dress)! Have ordered one of them but Janet is away til Tuesday 6th so I wont know until then if Ive got it or if someone pipped me to the post… oh well, I may yet be made to hold to my resolution, even if its very much in spite of me!

That hat looks like a microwave dish. From the look on her face, Id say shes just figured out all she can pick up with it is The Weather Chanel. Which dress does that back view belong to? I cant figure it out, but maybe the one with the jacket has a different shoulder treatment than the green view.

Oh! I have long admired Kelli Rs entries at Pattern Review! Very clear and informative comments. I love that bright blue dress in her slideshow! And the final one looks like the Hollywood Patterns wrap shirtdress you featured in April, last year.

OK, Erin, Im guessing youve never played Frisbee, amirite? Because that size Frisbee would be really hard to throw and probably scary to catch.

She looks dreadful!Floral Dress: You see? My little cloud problem is nothing compared to some people. You should just count your lucky stars climate change hasnt caused you any atmospheric blemishes.

My grandmother had a frisbee hat like that, she wore it one time to the San Diego naval station when my grandfather came back from a cruise, and it flew off and ended up in the water.They sent a couple sailors to fish it out for her….it was spoiled though…I have a couple pictures of her pre-flight – it was a lovely white hat indeed. She called it a platter hat…
