PARIS IN SPRING 1975
SO thrilled that I got this personal ‘Holy Grail’ Sindy outfit! … ‘Paris in Spring’ from 1975 is not the easiest outfit to find, because that very fragile (and beautiful!) scarf-tie blouse with those voluminous sheer sleeves is often found severely faded or frayed. I was lucky that this blouse was almost perfect, save for a few tiny stitches I had to make under one sleeve. This is a favourite outfit of mine as it reminds me so much of the jaunty polka-dotted skirt suits the master Yves Saint Laurent was designing back around that time. And that luscious, deeply hued sheer blouse is pure YSL! I decided to show that off by draping her very mid 70’s cardigan jacket over her shoulder instead. It didn’t come with its original red vinyl belt (which I wasn’t too crazy about, anyway…) so I decided to create my own, with one of Sindy’s red and navy striped belts from a later accessory pack, though I substituted its square buckle with a spare round one I had (which isn’t as monstrously huge as the original round one was! LOL) … I was so excited about how this outfit looked on my brunette Active Ballerina that I couldn’t wait to post a pic of her online, so I took a quick snapshot with flash of her in her house. Better shots to come when I get my brunette 1975 Lovely Lively Sindy, whom I think will be the next lass to wear this!
