Found a vintage Skipper or Petra/Peggy dress on the fleamarkt resently and thought it was perfect for a back to school outfit :) Does anybody know something about a dress like this?
This photo is best at large/original because there are two kids running down the alley, which is hard to see at the medium size photo.

Ben let me paint his back as part of my Zoo project. I think this took between 2 and 3 hours. I think it looked better in person but I was still so proud with how it turned out.

a couple of takes, thought I would share 'em both
From 1860-1935 the Supreme Court sat in what is now known as the "Old Senate Chamber" in the U.S. Capitol (after having met in several other spaces within that building during the first half of the nineteenth century). In 1929 Chief Justice William Howard Taft, who had served as President of the United States from 1909-1913, persuaded Congress to end that arrangement and authorize the construction of a permanent home for the Court.
Architect Cass Gilbert was directed by Chief Justice Taft to design "a building of dignity and importance suitable for its use as the permanent home of the Supreme Court of the United States." Neither Taft nor Gilbert survived to see the Supreme Court Building completed. Construction proceeded under the direction of Chief Justice Hughes and architects Cass Gilbert, Jr., and John R. Rockart. Construction proceeded from 1932-1935.
The Court Building cost less than the $9,740,000 Congress authorized for its construction. Not only was the final and complete cost of the building within the appropriation, but all furnishings were also procured, even though planners had initially expected that the project would require additional appropriations. Upon completion of the project, $94,000 was returned to the Treasury.
The general dimensions of the foundation are 385 feet from east to west, (front to back) and 304 feet from north to south. At its greatest height, the building rises four stories above the terrace or ground floor. Marble was chosen as the principal material to be used and $3 million worth was gathered from foreign and domestic quarries. Vermont marble was used for the exterior, while the four inner courtyards are of crystalline flaked, white Georgia marble. Above the basement level, the walls and floors of all corridors and entrance halls are either wholly or partially of creamy Alabama marble. The wood in offices throughout the building, such as doors, trim, paneled walls, and some floors, is American quartered white oak.
On the architrave above the entrance portico on the west side is incised the motto "Equal Justice Under Law" Above that is a sculptured group by Robert Aitken, representing Liberty Enthroned and guarded by Order and Authority. On either side are groups of three figures depicting Council and Research, which Aitken modeled after several prominent individuals concerned with the law or the creation of the Supreme Court Building: on the left are Chief Justice Taft as a youth, Secretary of State Elihu Root, and the architect Cass Gilbert; and seated on the right are Chief Justice Hughes, the sculptor Aitken, and Chief Justice Marshall as a young man.
On the east side pediment the sculpture group by Hermon A. MacNeil depicts great lawgivers: Moses, Confucius, and Solon, flanked by symbolic groups representing Means of Enforcing the Law, Tempering Justice with Mercy, Settlement of Disputes Between States, and Maritime and other functions of the Supreme Court. The architrave bears the legend: "Justice the Guardian of Liberty."
Flanking the entrance plaza on the west side are seated sculptures by James Earle Fraser: The Authority of Law (south side) and The Contemplation of Justice (north side). Since May 3rd, 2010, the public are no longer be allowed to enter the building through the large bronze doors at the west side portico. Visitors must now enter through ground-level doors located at the plaza level, which lead to a reinforced security screening area. However, visitors still exit the building from the Great Hall, through the original entrance.
Each of those large bronze doors weighs six and one-half tons, and slides into a wall recess when open. The door panels, sculpted by John Donnelly, Jr., depict historic scenes in the development of law: the trial scene from the shield of Achilles, as described in the Iliad; a Roman praetor publishing an edict; Julian and a pupil; Justinian publishing the Corpus Juris; King John sealing the Magna Carta; the Chancellor publishing the first Statute of Westminster; Lord Coke barring King James from sitting as a Judge; and Chief Justice Marshall and Justice Story.
Inside the Great Hall are busts of each of the Chief Justices of the United States, in alcoves on either side. Within the Courtroom are the following friezes: on the south wall are figures of lawgivers from the ancient world, including Menes, Hammurabi, Moses, Solomon, Lycurgus, Solon, Draco, Confucius, and Augustus. The north wall frieze shows lawgivers since the middle ages, including Justinian, Muhammad, Charlemagne, John of England, Louis IX of France, Hugo Grotius, Sir William Blackstone, John Marshall, and Napoleon.
In 1997 a request to remove the image of Muhammad was submitted to the Court by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which is a front organization for the Muslim Brotherhood and is linked to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas as an unindicted co-conspirator in regard to funding terrorist activity. Chief Justice William Rehnquist rejected the request, saying the artwork "was intended only to recognize [Muhammad], among many other lawgivers, as an important figure in the history of law; it is not intended as a form of idol worship."
