I have to go with the 1940s. The pearl gloves are priceless. What an heirloom they would be!
Love the 60s and 70s. I’m still a hippie at heart!
I like the patterns from the 20s – a perfect harmony of elegance and fun!
Oh my ..hmm a favorite decade? Goodness I liked them all; I guess the roaring 20’s would have to be a favorite next to the 50’s, 60’s 70’s. So much I make for the grands from alot of decades (oh an mind you that I am not that old !LOLfor the 20’s).So many great ideas from all decades!
20s and 70s definitely!
