Well, today I discovered why Marilyn Monroe didn't live in Colorado. Today, I was wearing one of my "vintage" Butterick 5033(see my version of B5033) dresses, you know the kind with the full skirt. I love these style patterns.
Anyway, I decided to go out to get some lunch. I mean it's over 70 degrees in early March, come on, no way was I going to pass up a nice day. As I'm heading to the little
restaurant a not-so-unusual gust of wind came. Up went my dress. Envision Marilyn standing over the steam grate, and her dress billowing up around her legs; now envision me in the middle of a parking lot during the lunch break. I manage to grab the full hem of my skirt, and place my hands and purse in strategic locations!
I now have a totally new found respect for my Mother's generation, and am convinced that they must have worn pantaloons or something under these dresses (Believe me I'll be asking her when I talk to her on the phone!).
Sandy.- I left an award for you on my blog. enjoy.

Pantaloons might work. Lol. Great dress either way. Maybe you were channeling your inner Marilyn and it just didn't fully work. *wink*.
