belle peasant dress....

I have been reading some old books & watching old movies lately & feeling whimsical so I made this dress.

I used McCall's 5050 pattern view E but made it a dress by adding 4 inches.  A little too short so I added the lace hem.

The raglan bell sleeves in this pattern is what caught my eye in the pattern $1.99 markdown bin.

This was supposed to be my toile using this inexpensive unknown fibers fabric, as I thought the pattern was complicated, but it was way easy!  

So now I can make this dress in some Silk fabric I have been coveting at the fabric store.

friday fabulousness.....epic slip dress.......

This is a re fashion of my Nanny's Vanity Fair vintage slip.......a thought & something so simple to sew.....making something old...... new again & a slip that is too pretty to be covered up.............

I also used her lace pieces that was given to me.........

I sewed the larger lace to the bottom hem of the slip which had a tiny hem.............

my inspiration came from 1997......Cindy's slip dress for her wedding..........

and this photo that was sent to me.........to which I added my lace camisole made by me.
