I am also a huge fan of JJ. Loved her dress and it personified the era, IMO.

Janis didn't speak very kindly of her high school in Port Arthur. I'm not sure that approved of Mary Quant either.

I loved everything about Mary Quant and particularly the mini skirt and colour blocking along with topstitching. I still have in my possession, a Mary Quant make-up purse with her signature daisy on it and although quite battered, I will not part with it. My memories also include disputes with my Mum about the hem of my mini skirts which I made. Fortunately Mum was often too busy with the rest of the family to know that I hadn't let down the hem that she thought was too high!!Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491386020542209322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-72167233217693880672016-05-16T19:56:23.211-05:002016-05-16T19:56:23.211-05:00I made Butterick 4578 in tomato red wool double kn...I made Butterick 4578 in tomato red wool double knit with off white wool double knit trim in 1968 to wear to my sister's fall semester college graduation.
