Please turn these into patterns! I ...Dear Shelley,<br /><br />Please turn these into patterns! I love everything shown here. Is there more like this you could post? Other views of the dresses shown?<br /><br />It's all fabulous and would look great on me. The model/picture is exactly my figure. It's wonderful to see. And I love the dresses from this period. I think I have found my style.<br /><br />Thank you, Leanne.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480761218873307705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-28530804909252128602011-04-03T08:52:46.280-07:002011-04-03T08:52:46.280-07:00They called the plus sizes for girls 'chubbett...They called the plus sizes for girls 'chubbettes' in the 40s. And I honestly don't think it was anything to be ashamed about, especially in this LB catalog.<br /> <br />Stout was a very common term, and not offensive at all. Extra size isn't meaning to demean, its just being honest.<br /><br />I think we flower up too much our descriptions for plus sizes today so we don't feel as if our size is being acknowledged, but we *want* it to be. Well, you can't have both ways. So we get this wave of perfumed words used to describe stout or fat, because those words are offensive.<br /><br />Nope, they are not, just honest.Shelleyjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223944949880318245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-74465529249117984132011-04-03T07:12:04.787-07:002011-04-03T07:12:04.787-07:00Jane,

Not sure if I would be thrilled with ordering double-extra sizes. When I was a kid they called the plus sizes for girls "chubbies". I wonder how many young girls were hurt by that!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.com
