I was wondering––as is my wont––while rummaging through a particularly juicy
1936 issue of Esquire pondering how to plagiarize many of the "looks" presented
therein (in the olden days, men would not buy suits from a given designer as
seen in a magazine's fashion spread, but rather go sprinting to the tailor with
a copy of said magazine saying "Make me THIS")...how many AFers have ever,
ahem, "borrowed" a look.
Is this something you do often? How thoroughly do you borrow? From whom/where?
Enquiring minds, etc.

I don't care, and you can't make me.

Just curious, how did you come about running across a 1936 issue of 1936 issue of Esquire pondering how to plagiarize many of the "looks" presented

just about wore to death. I've also had a wonderful Laundry by Shelli Segal dress copied in a
differing fabric. I don't normally like her stuff but this one dress fit beautifully, draped
perfectly and was really flattering on me. It was a simple sleeveless, belted, flair skirted easy
to pack and wear everywhere dress. .

I did just that for a suit for my 2nd wedding reception (wedding/reception in
the midwest, 2nd reception for dh's family friends who didn't fly out to the
wedding)
I found a suit with a beautiful ruffled collar – and bought gorgeous textured
silk in a creamy ivory, and had the pattern and suit made by a talented tailor
in Minneapolis.
I have had a very talented tailor near me make up duplicates of Dolce & Gabbana trousers which I the midwest, 2nd reception for dh's family friends who didn't fly out to the

In my area it's very common for people to go to Mexico and find a seamstress to
copy formal dresses (wedding dresses, quinceniera, and prom).
I have a wonderful seamstress who duplicated a beautiful Jessica McClintock
dress for me. About 12 years ago I was in our area's Maid of Cotton pageant.
All of the clothes we wore for the different functions had to be made of
cotton, including our evening gowns. Since cotton isn't usually a "formal"
fabric, my seamstress made the gown out of black sateen.

Probably pack–rat relatives... the reason I have advertisements for *any* magazine?
