I made the wrap version, with the short sleeves and the belt.
The fabric is a cotton voile from Westminster Fibers, in a colorway that is ideal for someone with three black and white dogs.
I thought the fabric would be too sheer to wear without a slip or lining but it turns it's absolutely fine without, which is great. This a perfect summer dress.
This is a scan of the original instructions for Simplicity 2042 Pattern Sheet 2
The original tissue is over 50 years old, so rather than further damage the paper, I have scanned the pattern instructions.
If you need any assistance with terminology, resizing, fabric selection or any other aspect of creating this lovely vintage pattern, please contact me.
This pattern is available in my etsy shop: ConsuturaFashionista
So, sorry this photo isn't all that great, but I felt the need to upload something. It's certainly been a while, and I feel bad, but it's just that I'm so lazy and I haven't been wanting to take pictures or make videos or anything. Hopefully once summer is here (nine more days!), I'll get back into my routine. Until then, I shall continue to be lethargic.
Just simply a piece of string and yet we can do so much with it . Put away all the fancy gadgets . . . a piece of string works in the workshop, garden, and kitchen.

A bit different to my normal style of photography (whatever that might be). Shot at golden hour and you can see the sun shining on the pavement at top left.

originally taken for DPS "black and white nature" but decided to hold on to it for "black and white, high contrast"
Does anyone have this pattern? I'm thinking of buying it, but would like to know if anyone has already made something from it--and how good/bad the pattern was.
guys check out my recent favorites! i've just found this great new style of photography, it was kinda strange, with strange concept and strange set up and, even stranger editing. I was surfing through the photo owner's connected accounts then I realized so many people had done this kind. I had thought to myself, oh my god wtf is this why is everyone doing it why am I the only didn't know anything about this yada yada yada but then I found out that it's an actual category called surrealism.
It's cool to know though. Human creativity, as its finest. And mannnnn I'd love to learn how they photoshopped the pictures that way.

How is it that even a 7 year old gets soooo happy just with a few balloons. I need that simplicity in living.
