Great sale, Jude! That's also a beautiful pattern. I'm wouldn't be surprised it they made copies of the pieces and instructions and used or sold those. Sizes were so much different back then and many of the patterns are tiny. Size 16 was much smaller then than it is now, but is still likely to fit a slim woman, and that it a classic style. I wouldn't mind having that one!

After many bumps in the road Pam and I are almost ready for tomorrow's estate sale. This one is really more of a moving sale because the lady is still alive. She lost her husband a few years back and she is now downsizing. What she left behind is so fun - decades of travel, collecting and art appreciation. As we organized and staged the house and I got to see all of her posters (movies, theater, opera, travel, etc), books, hobbies, shopping bags from nearly every museum imaginable and bits and pieces of her collections I feel like we are getting to know her and she is one neat lady.
