If I recall correctly, the pockets were something Davis insisted on, reasoning that Margo Channing was a busy woman who needed fashionable, useful clothes. She had several copies of the dress made in different colours for her own use.Snipernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-1117906954154480572005-06-04T12:42:00.000-05:002005-06-04T12:42:00.000-05:00I have a hard time even finding *pants* with pockets these days that aren't jeans or khakis, forget about dresses (which I have exactly 2 of) or skirts.<BR/><BR/>BTW - I mourn the demise of this era of dress-style. If I knew how to sew and alter, I'd be wearing a lot more dresses because the ones I can buy at the store all suck.Bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11882394630342247733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-1117832793504452482005-06-03T16:06:00.000-05:002005-06-03T16:06:00.000-05:00PDAs?

Besides, sturdy handbags are useful for self-defense! And I carry *way* too much stuff for it all to fit in pockets anyway.Jillihttp://www.gothic-charm-school.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-1117818930910648402005-06-03T12:15:00.000-05:002005-06-03T12:15:00.000-05:00Guys carry PDAs and cell phones on belt clipsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-1117816762262520642005-06-03T11:39:00.000-05:002005-06-03T11:39:00.000-05:00Yeah, there's no room in most of the skirts I like, and if there is -- the fabric's too stretchy to take the weight.<BR/><BR/>I'm not even a big bag person, but the money clip, car keys, PDA and phone are just too much for most of my clothes. I guess a guy would probably leave the PDA at home -- I can't see it all fitting in their pockets either.<BR/><BR/>But hey, at least you can fit a book on the PDA ...itahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02633500424825062161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-1117815849956586452005-06-03T11:24:00.000-05:002005-06-03T11:24:00.000-05:00There's a scene in All About Eve where she's storming around the house before the party (? I most recently saw this as a clip in a museum, so I may be out of context). But the point is, her fabulous gown has POCKETS. Stunning to me. <BR/><BR/>I think part of it is the full skirts we don't wear as much any more -- pockets do muck up the line of a straighter/tighter skirt.Jessenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-1117814102923060472005-06-03T10:55:00.000-05:002005-06-03T10:55:00.000-05:00I like to THINK I can function on pocketfuls. My treo600 fits very nicely in the pocket of the dress I'm wearing today ...<BR/><BR/>My usual pockets-only-I'm-not-carrying-a-bag contents are id, cash, credit card, treo, and lipstick. The cash is to buy something to read. :-) But most of the time I am carrying one.

I was going to say "Hey send that with the Claire McCardell dress and I'll trace it, too!" But a 38" bust is too much for me to take down with my minimal drafting skills (I need a 34 bust). BTW, what *is* the size on the McCardell?<BR/><BR/>--LydiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-1117803261156014342005-06-03T07:54:00.000-05:002005-06-03T07:54:00.000-05:00Soul sister!! Indulge me for a moment --<BR/><BR/>I love your site! <BR/><BR/>I've been sewing my own dresses since jr high and I love old patterns. I have been rockin' the prim-n-proper-lady look for years! Often, strangers come up to me in public and compliment me...no doubt that happens to you as well.
