Here's my '40's camisole, made of stuff from the clearance bin. I made a matching half slip and also drafted and cut the panties pattern, but I doubt I will finish those in August. I do intend to make them, but any sense of urgency has been killed by my realization -- once they were pinned -- that 1940s panties are like little sailor-style shorts with two waistline plackets and no elastic. Ginger Rogers would have looked cute in them, but I don't think they are going to be comfortable enough that I will actually want to wear them. The cami and slip, though, are going to be good fall basics for sure. I will probably make more.
