I fell in love with the circus when I was about four. It was Billy Smart’s Big Top, where I sat with my parents and brother on tiered wooden benches, eating candy floss, watching parabolas of delight unfurl on the trapeze, high-wire acts hover magically on tip-toe, acrobats build structure from chaos, and clowns colorfully spill across the sawdust. It is a love that has lasted, and I still feel the cold-water shiver of excitement whenever the circus comes to town. These stunning color photographs from the 1940s and 1950s of circus performers, are taken from Dominque Jando’s superb The Circus Book: 1870-1950. The images are so vibrant, one could almost step into the frame and join in all the fun. Via Retronaut, H/T Tom Ruddock.

This is a Sewing Pattern This is a 1950s SEWING PATTERN, this is not a dress Each item includes an image of a paper pattern.The image is meant to show the type of paper you will receive and how it’s been cut. The design in the image may not correspond to the design you’ve ordered (this is because I don’t yet have an image for all my designs). I'm a pattern maker, and all my patterns are handmade to a standard size or custom size. That way, some measurements can be modified if necessary. They contain English notes as well as notches that make it easy to join the pieces of the pattern together. A cutting diagram and information on the required yardage are included. To keep prices down, SEWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT INCLUDED. If you require Construction Steps for your pattern, please let me know before placing your order. - No hem or seam allowance. - No detailed instruction, only the notches and symbols, and named lines basic instructions. - No step-by-step illustrations to go with instructions. However, I can write some basic construction steps if you need or any specific steps in the process that you would like me to describe. .~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html Once you’ve taken your measurements, please paste them into the “Note” box on the Order page. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ How to choose a STANDARD SIZE? I can make standard sizes S, M, L, or XL with small adjustments to better fit you. Sizes are a tricky issue, and there aren’t any hard and fast rules, but I’d say my list of sizes is more European than American. To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html The best way to know your size is to take some measurements of yourself and use them to gauge your size. I can also modify a pattern to better fit your measurements. For example: You choose size S (Europe 40-42). If your body is closer to the first number, 86 (Upper bust/Torax 86-88 cm), than the second, 88, please tell me. Otherwise, the pattern will be the standard size S of between 86-88 cm for the upper bust. .~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ All sizes, both standard and custom, can be modified to your liking (for example, waist higher or lower; skirt longer, shorter, wider, narrower, unpleated, etc.). A dress can be made as either one or two pieces as a blouse and skirt, for instance. Please specify any of these alterations by email, or at the bottom of the form “Taking measurements”.
