You as well Can go into The interesting world of Airship Hostesses!
So Ashley has sent me this excellent story:
So I have this picture of a 1950s airship hostess pattern [see above], as well as I don’t understand where I got it. I don’t understand if it’s a Marian Martin or an Anne Adams or what, however it has held my rate of interest since day one. I don’t believe it was ever featured on your blog; I searched your dirigible posts to try as well as discover the name of the pattern company. No luck. Searches on Google, eBay, as well as Lanetz as well as good friends have yielded nothing for months, so I decided to just improvise with patterns I already have, as usual. The bodice is a 1990s jumper pattern with straps extended, pointed, as well as separated for button-y goodness, as well as the skirt is a from a 1940s pattern. I added a [poorly done] side zipper. The material is simple, rust-orange cotton.
So, just in situation you didn’t get this at very first reading: she saw just the picture, as well as handled to frankenstein together a quite great approximation, like so:
I like stories like this. (I likewise like that color orange.) Was Ashley going to let not having the actual pattern stand in her way? NO! She just jumped right in as well as DID it. This is what our country needs today. If I were hiring airship hostesses, Ashley would go right to the top of the list.
How would you prove your nerve as a possible airship-hostess trainee? Leave your stories of moxie in the comments.
