Without question, the WWII years -- the '40's! Big shoulder pads, whittled waists on women's jackets, platform shoes...women looked like sexy women then. Long hair, too, and hats! And gloves! It was a really great Joan Crawford "I am Woman!" era.
And no matter what your Grandma says people were "wilder" then than in the 60's. Going to war...might not survive...think about it.
never has and never will be a more stylish,classy era
Agreed;the 40's.Now days you can't tell the men from the women;unfotunately.A good per cenatge of the hippes were dirty and stunk if you lived then and experienced it.
2. The Regency period in England - So pretty! I wish I could sew so I could make these dresses! When I have my kids I am going to dress them in regency dresses. Yes they'll be home-schooled. LOL So feminine. A pic from one of my favorite movies, an adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion. It's actually better than the book... featuring beautiful Jennifer Ehle as Lizzy...
Sewing isn't hard -- sewing well takes practice. And classes. Honestly -- go to a fabric store, and check out their classes.
Every place that sells sewing machines will have classes on that machine, and teach you the basics and not so basic of your machine.... and you can go from there.... to more involved classes.
I quilt, and my sewing time is the most rewarding part of my day.
Late 50s to early 60s. Things had just started getting casual, you could go out without a hat, and just wash your hair and brush it. But psychedelic bell-bottoms weren't in yet, and neat and tidy still counted.
Gosh for me it's so hard to choose. I'd love to try a little of everything from time to time. I certainly love all decades of hairstyles (though I can't well pull off the 50s hair).

I can sew by hand. LOL maybe I'll be tempted if you can recommend a good machine. Easy to thread. I remember that was always my problem with sewing machines. Also, I like serged interior edges. Could you recommend a good serger?
