The gamine style (Audrey in Roman Holiday, Jean Seberg in Breathless)… the boyish twist on feminine fashion is always a breath of fresh air!

My favorite decade is definitely the 50’s. It was feminine and the curves were allowed to show. I believe it’s the Mad men that has got me over excited about the 50’s :)

Sharon Schnaar …For me the 70’s and 80’s had me sewing up a storm..I made a new outfit at least once a week and I was tiny so I could use a lil piece of cloth and make something fab on my singer treadle, well until I got the electric singer, but by then I had little ones and had to fit them into outfit schedule :D (now I need a much bigger piece of fabric to make me something )

I think my favorite decade is the one we’re in right now! I love the fact that almost everything is allowed – fashion/color-wise. I love being able to wear bellbottoms one day and a 60’s mini dress the next. From a sewing perspective, the thing I love the most about the present decade, is computerized sewing machines and sergers. I’m personally not really into vintage-sewing, so I do love the present with all it’s gadgets and shortcuts! :-) Best regards, Anna Aasbjerg Rasmussen, Denmark

I love the styles of the 50s, the circle skirts and the fact that women could look sexy without exposing themselves, but I think my favorite decade of style is the 60s. I’m a girl who loves pattern and bright colors, and this is what the 60s brought. I also love the mod style that popped up during this era.

I’m a sucker for the full skirted styles of the 50’s and early 60’s, but I also love the flattering lines of the late 30’s and early 40s…

I love bright colors, so I think I’m more of a 60s girl. But I also like the flowy clothes of the 70s. Just drop me somewhere in between!

I loved the 1950’s, There was style and structure to clothes. Women weren’t expected to dress as teenagers. Patterns were made for Matrons! I know we don’t like to label people, but as an over the speed limit person I can’t find much ready wear to wear. In Burda I can find a classic look and make a choice of my style that suits me.

I like the style of the 40s. It never really goes out of style. : ) Classic.

Mi década favorita es la de los ’50! Aunque los ’70 me gustan, me divertía mucho cuando era niña mirando las fotos de mi mami.
