Dorothy Moore's Pattern Drafting and Dressmaking
I had a streak of luck recently and thrift-ed this wonderful book! I just love A-line dresses and hopefully this book will help me whip up a few. Here are a few pages that caught my eye.
This is a great book for anyone who enjoys sewing their own clothes. It has tons of info on sizing and drafting patterns that will fit you perfectly!

1940's Fashion Tips for the Whole Year
A while back my sweet brother gifted me several vintage sewing and knitting books. Among these books was "The Complete Book of Sewing" by Constance Talbot. Published in 1943, this book goes through the basics of sewing as well as tips on how to style your wardrobe and home.
While skimming the book I came across a section titled "Seasonal Changes in Accessories." Here is a little excerpt: "The dates for seasonal changes differ in different climates and localities; but the check list which follows is general and can be adapted to your wardrobe and the climate in which you live. The recommendations in the list are by no means definite rulings; they are simply suggestions designed to stimulate thought so that you can make your own plan according to your particular needs."
