Blue: Huh.
Pink: Now that’s something you don’t see every day.
Blue: Not in our town, that’s for sure.
Pink: How do you think … what do they … well, doesn’t that look … dangerous? I mean, medically?
Blue: I dunno, they seem to be having fun.
Pink: All I know is, I’m going to have a LOT of questions for Margie at bridge tomorrow.

Yep, definitely. It cracks me up when people say how “Marilyn Monroe was a size 14” …

I just saw an argument on Pinterest about the small size of some of the “plus size”models. Marilyn being a size 14 was brought up. Sizes were definitely different in her day.

Love the dress, but all those buttonholes and buttons must have taken forever. (We didn’t get a buttonhole making attachment until the late 1960’s, and it would always mess up at least one.)

I learned to sew using my mother’s old machine, which didn’t have a buttonhole maker. She taught me how to make one the old-fashioned way, just using a zig-zag stitch, and that’s how I still make them. I don’t trust the buttonhole attachment!

I can’t stop thinking about this dress! What would you call that type of collar? Is there a name for it? Thank you!
