In Arrears

[atherleisure]

I'm quite in arrears on pictures. I've finished an 1800's drop-front dress, a 1930's bolero, and a 1950's sundress without taking any pictures of them on me. Saturday, pictures were finally taken of the Regency little white dress. Today I put on a 1930's dress for the sole purpose of finally getting pictures of my bolero. I have to wait for the sunburn I got Saturday to clear up before I take pictures of my 1950's dress. (Yes, I lost track of time on Saturday and am living with the consequences.) I'll write something about the picnic Saturday, but it won't be right now.

Anyway, at least I have bolero pictures.





I think it came out nicely, though I had to take a bit out of the sleeve caps so I didn't have the late 1930's linebacker shoulders, and I only pinned the ties on so that I wouldn't always have to have a little bow. Little bows just seem a bit peculiar in 2015.

Looks lovely! That openwork pattern is so pretty. And I agree about the little bows. Not really done nowadays.

Thank you. I figure if I'm really doing something vintage, I can baste or pin the ties on, and the rest of the time I'll look moderately normal.

It's so lovely and ladylike! You are so talented to just make string do that!

You are so kind. I attribute it to hating to sit still with nothing to do with my hands.
