Adventures in Vintage Resales... fka adventures in baby-sewing

Just cakes, about 12 so far this month, many are half-sheets, so I have been busy. I am grateful as it is good income for the work. But baking a few cakes on Fridays and decorating most of the days on Saturdays, then church on Sundays leaves me a bit worn out for a few days afterwards, plus all the school stuff, work on Mondays, Tuesdays, doesn't leave much more than Wednesdays and Thursdays to recoup and regroup before beginning again on Fridays. The laundry is piling up... I think it reproduces on its own if I leave it too long... Hopefully I will be sewing again soon.

OK, here are the dresses. The older one's was Simplicity 3329, no date, probably late 1950's or early 1960's. There is no reference to in on the internet to link a photo and I am not in a position to photograph it right now. The dress picture is actually copied from facebook from Easter. It goes into a v-backed neck and should have a bow at the CB which I left off. The little one's was a 1940's mail order pinafore style, not even sure where the pattern is at the moment. Both are from cotton voile pindotted swiss with broadcloth accents/binding. Both are fully lined. I completed the older one's over 3 days of working and the inside is barely finished off, as quickly as I could do it. She would only wear it once or twice anyways, so I decided not to waste much time on it. The little one's is better finished as she still wears dresses at the drop of the hat. These were fun to make, I wish I had more of the fabric for a top for me. It is so watercol

Actually there are a few more, some maxi dresses as well, but these two are to die for, I think. I bought the Simplicity 7384 back before I knew much about fitting, notice it is way smaller than my size. It's just not worth the trouble for me. The Butterick is closer, but I really don't think I will ever get to it. So they are up for sale, to find new homes, to be loved by someone else. I also have an awesome Gunne Sax pattern listed as well as two Simplicity Designer fashions, one that has been seen on the net before. I really need to cut my pattern stash down, please help me.
