Perfect under 30's style

Today, we hardly line dresses or skirts at all. I was taught how to do that during the 70's and never stopped. But when I started my travel back in time when it comes to sewing vintage, I discovered that they used underwear instead, slippery slips. Not like the cotton ones they used in to the 1920's.
I searched the net to find a pattern that could pass for one from the 30's. First I found this one:

I had just about enough fabric for that one as you can see (2 yards 59 inch wide). But the 30's was almost all about bias. So this would fall into that era in my opinion. 

So I went for my second option:

I followed Vera's great tip and drew the pattern out in full so I could use just one layer of fabric. By doing this I had just enough fabric for this slip as well... and on the bias. True 30's.

The bias is much nicer to my body shape as well.

Front with blitz...

Side/front

Front without blitz.

The pictures taken with the blitz on, show how shiny the frabric is. I do believe it's a poly satin... and not my biggest favourite. I added a small bow at the front to hide a not very well performed front seam. I might add and top stitch with lace at a later date when I have made up my mind and I have the right lace. I might even make a new slip out of pure silk. 

What you don't see is that I used a round hem.

Finally!

I don't know for how long I've been lokking for fabric like this. it's 100% cotton and in a twill weave. White and blue. 10 yards of it. Is it enough?

Not sure how far apart the stripes are in real life but it looks good in the picture.

I mean.. you see it and you know it, but will the picture in your head match up when you're actually holding the fabric in your hands? 

This is a beatiful and classy suit and it needs a tight fit to look good. I'm really tempted this time.  I can feel the motivation for going back to 1912 comming along.... just have to find a new home first ;)
