Featured in March 1937 catalog.

 

The dress on the right reminds me a little too much of the mutant fish from "The Simpsons". Double-breasted is cool; triple-breasted is going too far.

Pattern: Simplicity 2444

Fabric: Tessuti remnant

Notions: invisible zipper & thread

Modifications: extended length by 10cm

 

Neckline is too wide. I plan to re-draft bodice pattern and bring neckline in 1.3cm on each side.

I like simplicity, and this photo showcases that. The soft blues and browns in the background. The leading lines created by the barbed wire. The simple rule-of-thirds composition.

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.

Miss Simplicity was produced as an amateur theatrical for the Bank Officers Association at the Tremont Theatre in Boston in 1901. The musical comedy was built around Julian Eltinge (1881–1941) as the ingenue lead.

 

By the time the New York production was mounted, the show had been rewritten as a vehicle for comedian Frank Daniels (1856–1935) in a role not in the original production. (Eltinge remained in Boston, his role now assumed by a female player.) It toured extensively from September 1901 to February 1902, then played at the Casino Theatre from 10 February to 29 March 1902 for 56 performances before going on tour.

Photographing Simplicity: Day One

I have joined a group dedicated to capturing one simple image a day for the month of December. I thought this was a good way to start, with one of life's simple pleasures, a flavourful clementine from distant Morocco

This image made me think of summer nights. The simplicity of the photo only contribute more to that feeling. I added a little bit of purple color because I thought that it really made the photo aesthetically pleasing.

Simplicity 1803 - OAL Outfit sewalong -Use a cotton stretch fabric of sorts, have no idea of the exact type! I changedthe skirt to a simple A-line with pockets from the pattern, now wish I'd made a pleated skirt as per Lauren's (Lladybird's) tutorial - constructed the skirt before the blog post as released

Posting pattern review and blog post shortly...

 

For now, this is a dress I have wanted to sew since last summer. Now it is too cold to wear it! Cynthia Rowley for Simplicity pattern 2584. The front slit is insanely low and I will prob. sew in a lace modesty panel for some... you know... modesty.

 

Here's the pattern review. And it's blogged here.

I've found myself thinking about that tie collar, so I figured what the heck? I sort of like the sleeve-cap style of the modeled version, and since this dates from 1980 the fit was much more slim and trim compared to later 80s linebacker shoulders.

(oh and also it was only a quarter.)
