Can be fit to any size from 8 to 16! I'm about a size 8 but I haven't had a 20 inch waist since I was 14 years old. I think yesterdays size 8 is today's size 2.
I hope you enjoyed this little trip down vintage lane.
Be well.

Lovely vintage stuff - my grandmother left me her little sewing basket & I loved the packaging of the needles & poppers & the messy jumble of threads. You can see where I get my hoarding from! Yes, same desk, you can just see the jars of pens, brushes etc in different positions. I was tempted to sweep the lot of it into a bag but would never see it again - was determined to make it 'work' for me!
I love vintage sewing items such as these. You used to be able to find them around here, but they are long gone. Heck, I used to be able to get replacement garters at the fabric store but not anymore.
Now they are specialty items with prices to match, and I think the last place I found them online was in Canada.
Nice tour! :-)
XXOO~~♥

undertermined fibers. haha. for some reason that strikes me as funny. maybe because it's the crack of 0'dark thirty or something. and that size chart is also very funny. a size 16 with a 28" waist? um, yeah. hope you have a great weekend!
I really enjoyed the vintage items. I have several of my own, bought when they weren't vintage. I hope you post more of these.

Fun post - did bring back memories. I was so happy when they came out with panty hose and we could get rid of garter belts.
Great stuff Jan. I found some of these same things when I inherited my Mom's sewing basket, but that skirt kit takes the cake! xox Corrine
This really shows my age BUT I used to use those hosiery hooks!!! OMG!! I forgot all about those dumb things!! They would hook to your panties and then to your hose!! UGH!!! Save the zippers from your pattern! You can use them when you make a 'humbug' bag! I used up all my old zippers! Great use for them.
Hi Jan,
OMG!!! Yikes! This means I was considered very large back then by those sizes....hahaha!!
I love the old sewing notions from back then....Thanks for the trip
down memory lane!!
Hugs and Smiles,

Greta to see these snippets of history.
Hilarious. I can just see you in that skirt of undetermined fibers! Is that like a meatloaf of undetermined ingredients? Ha ha Guess I am in a strange mood today.
Looks it is as old as me this garage discoveries. Reminds me at the wrappings in my childhood.
