Tessa is 10 months old, almost walking, teething and chasing our poor cats around the living room. She is also still nursing on demand and has yet to sleep more than three hours at a shot. I know that magic morning of waking up without having woken up at all is coming, I just don’t know when. Max was 2 and 9 months when he finally slept. We are hoping Tessa is a bit more motivated.

Despite our exhaustion we do have some BunnyBear goodies in the pipeline that we are working on in those rare moment of sanity. We’ll post an update when they are a bit further along.

In the meantime, pictures of the children to give you a peek into my world at the moment.

This is a pilot product and collection pricing is only available for the 1930s at this time.

The 1940s “wartime shirtwaister” was popular and prevalent from the prewar era through the 1950′s.  Utilitarian in look with uniform inspired square shoulders and short, mostly straight shirts, its silhouette fit well with conservation efforts.  The shirtwaist dress, so called, because it’s button front mimicked a man’s dress shirt, was comfortable and practical.  It was marketed as everything from sports wear in the form of tennis ensemble to party dress when made in nicer fabrics. 

When the “New Look” made it’s appearance the shirtwaist dress was one of the few items to survive the feminization of silhouettes.  A bit more fabric in the skirt, a bit more puff in the sleeve and the looks was transformed into the classic 1950′s house dress.

We are away on our first vacation in quite some time.  I finally have some time to send a updated photos of Tessa and Max

Some of you may not have noticed that the piece is undersized.  The reason for this is the density of the fabric that you used to construct the garment.  The more give your fabric had, the less likely you were to notice it.

We have redrafted the jockey piece.  If you have purchased this pattern and would like an updated copy, email us at nann at bunnybear.com.

Please include your first and last name, or the first and last name on the paypal account that you used.

Put 1850′s pattern update in the subject line of your email.

With the arrival of our daughter, things are still a bit crazy here in the BunnyBear household.  I will respond as soon as sleep or lack of sleep allows
