Many of these pics look like they are from dress patterns if I am not mistaken and when I go to flea markets or Antique barns I always look through the patterns for photo's like these. Some even remind me of the little paper dress up dolls my sister had and of course I played with them when nobody was around. I remember she had the Lennon Sisters dolls and one that was very shiny with clothes made of plastic and you would rub them against your clothing to create static to keep the clothes in place. It never worked very well but I would love to just put the plastic bra and panties on them and think kinky thoughts.

Yep. Most of them are dress patterns. As far as vintage girl's dresses, they're the pix that make it onto the internet the most. Authentic photos of those kind of dresses, & old catalogs just don't make it onto the internet as often as the dress patterns, because the patterns are still for sale or on auction, & considered more collectable than just old catalogs & photos of girls dresses.

Up until the mid 1960s there was a sewing machine in every house. Even if nobody in the house made their own clothes, there was at least 1 person in the family who knew how to fix/repair & alter clothes on the machine & by hand.

Yes mom had one in the spare room and taught me how to use it a little but not enough to make my own dresses. I am pretty good at taking up a hem on pants and skirts and have even made some small repairs to my panties and slips but that is so long ago that my sewing machine is in a box in storage. When my mother passed away two years ago her sewing machine was still in the spare room all set up like she was going to use it but I bet it was 10 years since she did. I donated it to St. Vincent De Paul and they repair and tune them up and send to poor nations where women can use them to make a living.

In the eighth part of this segment there are two dresses I'm very sure my mother made. In the first frame it is the first dress and the red one in the fourth frame. My mother used me for a dress model quite often. I had mixed feelings about that because I was very embarrassed but then again it just seemed ok. On a number of occasions I I would have to wear girl's underwear also.

Hey Billie Jo, in reply # 215 in the fourth frame is a red skating dress with hat. My girlfriend let me wear an outfit like this when I was 12 or 13 and practicing for a figure skating show. I was volunteered to take a sick girls place by my girlfriend because she knew that we had done all the routines together every night after school and I could do all her routines. She didn't have the hat I don't think but the skating dress was made of red velvet lined in white satin. I was scared to death I would be found out but the teacher and my girlfriend promised not to tell anyone and I was able to pull it off with out anyone knowing I was a boy. I loved every minute of it but was scared at the same time which made it all the more exciting.

Sorry for the smaller images. The smallest, lowest resolution images in the collection were near the end of the list. Check the previous pages of this gallery for the bigger cooler pictures.
