Kit and Molly: Child fashions of the 30s and 40s?

[thepidget]

Thank you again for the additional info and links, guys!!! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

I found this on amazon.com... This isn't necessarily fashion, but this book contains colorized photos from American life from 1939-43.

Here's the book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/081...lance&n=283155

Here's the exhibition with photos:

Seeing these old photos in color make me feel as though they could've been taken just yesterday. [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I colorized some of my family's pictures from the turn of the century, and all of a sudden they didn't look old anymore, more like a a bunch of reenactors or something. [img]graemlins/thinking.gif[/img]

Wow, those old color photos are awesome. They really do look like they could have been taken yesterday. Really neat to see; thanks for sharing those!

Here's some sites I like that have vintage doll patterns from Kit's and Molly's time as well as from the 1950s:

http://qualityvintagedollpatterns.com/

http://olddollpatterns.com/

http://www.bestvintagedollpatterns.com/

I like using these because it gives you a pattern to work with that is already AG sized (or at least close)...it's really helpful to have something that shows the way a particular style was constructed. I love designing clothes for my dolls, in fact, they are beginning to be regular clothes-horses - haha!
