And I'm dying to try one of those forties-style blouses with the tucks at the waist so they tuck in very neatly--maybe I should put that next on my to-sew list...Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17454793498539356139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4474956085505106215.post-58785356387412885482011-10-19T15:09:12.534-04:002011-10-19T15:09:12.534-04:00Yes do an apron tutorial.
I think you should make ...Yes do an apron tutorial.<br />I think you should make some contrast color fabric belts in brights such as fuchsia, lemon, and teal - that way you can wear greys, blacks, browns, and navys all week long and still look like you have an "Outfit" on. Or now that cooler weather is upon us have your "third piece" - vests, sweaters, jackets and coats - in colors of all types: pastels, earthy greens, brights or whatever.<br />I also watch a lot of old movies (and even though they're b/w) I get the impression that staples such as skirts and jackets might be in greys and somber colors, collars, blouses, and accessories would be in more "fashion" colors.<br />I do recommend having a selection of belts and shoes. Good belts are available second hand. Everyone should have several pairs of "everyday" shoes because if you wear the same ones every day they get stinky and ruined (need to air out).<br />Also a simple skirt in grey is a great addition to any wardrobe :) I do think a bulky waist like on this garment may look best with a fitted blouse or perhaps a silky blouse to contrast the heavy hand of the wool. Just show us more pictures when you make another fun outfit from this skirt, eh?, and good job.Futuralonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067766306938730583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4474956085505106215.post-82003603496499629022011-10-17T14:02:28.299-04:002011-10-17T14:02:28.299-04:00Really nice skirt, well done.Really nice skirt, well done.charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152146546465975329noreply@blogger.com
