Betwixt and Between: Sub-Teens & Slacks: Simplicity 4540

Separates were an idea that had been around for a while, at least to the days of the shirtwaist around 1900, and were made even more popular by Claire McCardell in the 1950s. McCardell liked to have separates made in the same fabric to look like dresses as you see in the print and the plaid skirts and blouses here in the top row. McCardell like a covered-up top and a bare top which went with the same skirt, while many others realized harmonizing coordinates simply made it easier to get dressed.

This patterns dates to the early 1960s and shows us how a moment in time and in the life cycle could get dressed. Slacks on women were for informal occasions, like resort wear or dirty work, although women began wearing fancy silk slacks around the house for informal entertaining during the 1950s. On girls--and these patterns were for 8-14 sub-teen sizes--slacks were for play time or at-home time. By the late 1960s, pants on women were for every occasion, despite the protests of conservative dresses. But here you can see there was still a level of formality, or perhaps we should say of a level of harmony expected, as these coordinates were made of the same fabrics as the skirts or the vest. The days of a pair of jeans with any kind of top were still in the future.

The skirt is a simple rectangle with pleats at the waistline and both the skirt and the pants close with a zipper. The vest is lined to the edge, and buttons closed. Notice the collared blouse has cuffs as well. Cottons are recommended, but so are linens, silks, and even lightweight woolens for cooler months. These garments took a fair amount of sewing effort and ability. Maybe possessed by the sub-teen herself, but more likely by her mother or some older relative.

Notice this isn't really all that different from the capsule wardrobe that got invented in the 1940s and keeps getting rediscovered as something new about every 15 years or so. There is something persistently appealing about an easy, but polished way to get dressed.

Working with the teens on their Smooth Style Lindy technique, with a 1950's Rhythm and Blues dance number, in San Jose, yesterday, a few hours before Hawk Valentine's show at The Ivy Room with Mitch Polzak and Big Sandy.) For the Facebook share, I am setting this to "friends" rather than "public", for the simple reason that the video quality is, admittedly, blurry. (I'll try to get a clearer, sharper, video of the classes in a few weeks.) I would love to do an all ages vintage dance party, introducing these young people to the music of Mitch (as well as Carmen and Steve, Jinx, Hank, and various other local, personal favorites, so stay tuned.) #teendancers #teenfriendly #vintagedancers #vintage #vintagestyle #vintageteens #vintageteen #vintageteenager #vintageteensoct #teenswing #teenswing2018 #fiftiesliving #fiftiesstyle #swingdancer #swingdancin #swingdancers #bayarea #lindylessons #lindyhoppers #Fiftiesdancing #fiftiesdance #fiftiesdayatschool #jitterbug #jitterbugs #teenactivities (at San Jose, California)

I’ve got quite a few editions of the Caitlin Love trilogy but I’ve wanted these ‘window’ editions for a while so snapped them up when a lot popped up on eBay. They are almost mint condition too! I also got this vintage sci-fi book from @prudenceandthecrow - I am suitably intrigued… 📚 . . . #stackingtheshelves #90sbooks #80sbooks #bookhaul #bookishfeatures #bookstagramfeature #bookstagram #bookporn #bookphotography #booklr #bookblogger #bookaholic #bookish #bookstagrammer #teenreads #francinepascalbooks #patcbox #booknerd #bookhoarder #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #vintageya #vintageteen #vintagebooks #vintage #retroreads #retro #retrobooks #nostalgia https://www.instagram.com/p/CpselEerLXA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
