1930's....








After I made this outfit, I wanted to make more....


Found this picture on the net and wanted to make something similar....


I really hate seflies......

Then I need something else.... the pattern for this swagger is a size 12 (too small for me) so I have to adjust quite a lot. I'm also using a different kind of yarn..... well... everything is different from the original..

A good looking Miss Marple... don't you think?

Progress.....

..... but perhaps not what you expected to find :)

The reticule...

Back of the dress.....

Not the usual way to do things if you look at todays reconstructed patterns, but this is a methode used by  the seamestress of the time.....

Now I need the accurate underthings to make a perfect picture :)
