Plaid: I Vant. To Suck. Your BLOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
Yellow: I wonder how my dress would look with a bow? Not red, of course, but maybe white? Or green? I’m getting hungry, I don’t know why Mina said we’d have lunch here, I don’t see anywhere to eat …

Poor dears. They both look like they could use a good meal. Their spines seem to be sagging from lack of food. Look at the toothpick arms, the tiny little waists. A little blood might be a good idea.
Nice Dracula reference, by using the name Mina too.
Holy crow. There’s arch, and then there’s murderous.
Love the collar, especially with the bow.
Amy, I think that’s a pattern that I used to make myself a medium blue wool dress when I was a teenager. The collar and sleeves had a lighter blue under collar and “under”sleeve. How fun to see that back.
Confession: I was a teen in the ’50′s. Best decade in the whole century to be a teen!
If only Yellow had twigged when they were trying on their dresses in front of the mirror and she noticed that Plaid didn’t seem to have a reflection…oh well at least now she knows why Plaid insisted on the wide neckline….
I say “Yes!” to the bow! One can never have too many bows on their clothing, especially if it happens to be a vintage dress. : )
Happy sewing!
I’ve seen that plaid chick before on other patterns – she has a very distinctively dark almost mono-brow look. Do you think they used real models to draw these patterns from life? Or is she a fantasy woman that some artist dreamed up and kept drawing over again? Was anyone’s mother/grandmother a pattern model? Maybe someone out there knows Dark Plaid?
The top looks a lot like the Sassy Librarian Blouse over at Craftsy:

Love the Flea Market Fancy ones.
Girl #1 looks like Morticia Adams incognito.
