Amazingly, amazing Vintage Wicker and Plastic Handle Poodle Bag. This reminds me so much of something that Nicole from Fashion Forestry would love. Sometimes I think I want to be her. Is that weird??
ROSE CREPE vintage 30s PLEATED square neck BOW gown dress S M
This dress is fairly awesome. I love the colour and all the awesome details. It reminds me why I'm going to start buying quality over quantity. Though I don't know that you can get this sort of quality anymore. Why is that? Isn't there the market for it anymore?
Vintage Eisenberg Scarf Clip Very Early, marked Sterling pre 1935
I just love sparkly, sparkly things. And this one is fancy, fancy, fancy too!
In relation to the last post and the dress that I made:
I didn't draft it, but I didn't use a pattern either, if that makes sense. I guess I kind of do use a pattern because I'll look at the shape of a similar bodice, but lately I've been doing things by eye and with the use of my new dressmakers doll.
I think I looked at a 1970s pattern for the bodice but completely changed the neckline (so it could have a collar) and made it so there could be a zip at the back. And then added the separation down the front so I could have buttons!
The skirt I just measured my waist, multiplied the measurement by three (plus seam allowances) and then cut out a rectangle this long. I then did knife pleats around the the whole thing. They're actually super easy.
I think that it turned out better than some of my other stuff too because I actually bought the material new for once (Spotlight) instead of buying secondhand and having to cut things out weird or use different fabrics for facings.
That being said, I still reckon it's 85.6% luck...
