The walking skirt is # 209. You might also want to look at 205 (Gibson Girl Blouse) 220 (Garden Party Dress)--I believe someone has already mentioned this one 508 (Traveling Suit, WWI), which has quite a nice jacket ****************** 508 is PERFECT. Just what I think of as WWI....see not "Titanic" at all. Notice the fullness of the skirt and its unusual just-higher-than-ankle-length skirt. Always looks great with high lace-up boots that have spool heels. 220 still looks good. 205 is too early. and 209 is OK but only if you hem it shorter than shown. It really looks too early to me. I went to the Past Patterns site and they have LOTS of copies of authentic patterns. Here are some good blouses: _http://www.pastpatterns.com/9025.html_ (http://www.pastpatterns.com/9025.html) _http://www.pastpatterns.com/5655.html_ (http://www.pastpatterns.com/5655.html) _http://www.pastpatterns.com/7683.html_ (http://www.pastpatterns.com/7683.html) and some good skirts to go with them: _http://www.pastpatterns.com/7035.html_ (http://www.pastpatterns.com/7035.html) _http://www.pastpatterns.com/7477.html_ (http://www.pastpatterns.com/7477.html) _http://www.pastpatterns.com/9003.html_ (http://www.pastpatterns.com/9003.html) And some nice dresses: _http://www.pastpatterns.com/8933.html_ (http://www.pastpatterns.com/8933.html) _http://www.pastpatterns.com/6053.html_ (http://www.pastpatterns.com/6053.html) _http://www.pastpatterns.com/8159.html_ (http://www.pastpatterns.com/8159.html) There's lots more on the Past Pattern's page...near the bottom....anything 1914-1918. _http://www.pastpatterns.com/1900.html_ (http://www.pastpatterns.com/1900.html) I don't mean to harp on this period but its an unusual one that is hard to get right. So many designers end up with Hobble Skirt fashions and as you can see, though clearly coming out of that, they are NOT the same period. ... ____________________________________ A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. _See yours in just 2 easy steps!_ (http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100126575x1219671244x1201345076/aol?redir=http://www. freecreditreport.com/pm/default.aspx?sc=668072&hmpgID=62&bcd=febemailfooterNO6 2) **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
