Just introducing myself over here - my name is Bex, and i'm a vintage mad grrl living in Sydney, Australia. I'm passionate about knitting and sewing, especially from the era of 1938 - 1954. I just thought i'd share some pics with you - this is a suit i made from a Marian Martin pattern - circa early 1950s. I used stretch drill to give it the tight fit, without worrying about losing the shape (I had to enlarge it to fit a 41 in bust and big hips!)
And lastly, some satin tap-pants from 1932 (cant remember 
the brand - sorry!)
