I’ve finally gotten around to putting Comments on all of my blog pages (including this one) — let me know what you think!
Those who know me know that I have a particular passion: STRIPES! I’m absolutely drooling over this this self-portrait by Rose Adélaïde Ducreux at the Met.
I’m back at work on my 1874-77 afternoon dress, and I’ve FINALLY gotten around to putting up pictures of my 1940’s creations!
Shopping for reproduction period jewelry? The Musee d’Orsay in Paris offers a number of jewelry pieces inspired by art from their collections at quite reasonable prices! My current favorite is this pendant from Renoir’s Dancing at Moulin de la Galette, Montmartre.
Phew! Life has been far too busy lately, but I’ve finally gotten back on the sewing track. I’m working on a 1943 Simplicity pattern for a wrap dress that’s coming along nicely, so I’ll soon have an excuse to update my 1940’s page. As soon as that is done, I’ll get back to my 1874 afternoon dress — although I think it may become an evening dress instead. Or both.
Saw The Four Feathers last week — some interesting costumes (it’s set in 1898) on Kate Hudson in the eary scenes, although WHAT was going on with her Alice in Wonderland outfit at the end? Terrible!
