    Oh, these are lovely, but I was startled by the 'embroidered sheers' lady with no head! Poor thing!

    What memories this brings back. I can still see the swan motif tiles around the first bath tub I can recall, about 1945. The gowns also bring back memories of my mother's favorite film: Letter to Three Wives. Anyone interested in vintage fashion should rent it. A cracking good tale and great performances by great actresses as well.

    The headless lady just made my evening. (Sorry, blogspot won't let me enter a website -- it's Sarah at PatternVault.)
