Stop Me If You believe That You’ve Seen this before
I can’t keep in mind if I have or not, although I most likely must have if I haven’t. I mean, look at this thing.
My preferred part is the collar, as well as the gathering under the bust. I’d shorten the skirt as well as make the short-sleeve version, however I am extremely much in favor of the brown as well as cream polka dots, yes, I am. I’d likewise like it in a small feathery bandanna-print silk (if such a thing existed outside my fevered imagination) or a 1950s silk with a pattern of bit squares.
I when had some stunning celery-green/pink/lavender dot print silk with a dupioni slub that I made a terrific gown in. A terrific gown (complete with belt with a mother-of-pearl buckle) that made me look horrible. like Alice on the Brady lot horrible, like a sack with a string around the middle horrible. Matron with a funding M. It was genuinely distressing. as well as of program the material was gone when I went back for more. It’s still a fantastic dress, it just needs somebody other than me to be inside of it. somebody taller as well as bustier, who would make it look statuesque instead of matronly. That debacle verified my theory that the prettier the material (and I liked the gown pattern, too) the a lot more conscientious I must be about making it in some material I don’t care about, first. (But, of course, I was rushing. Haste, waste: have you met? Here, let me introduce you.) I can’t keep in mind what I did keeping that dress. I believed I put it up on eBay however maybe not. If I discover it, I’ll publish it here.
And speaking of eBay, I am planning on selling a lot of vintage over the next couple months … my wardrobes are getting to that specify of density where I’m anxious about generating spontaneous black holes. Do people want me to link to my auctions here, or must I not sully A gown A Day with unclean commerce?
