Finally, I have full-length photos of my latest collaboration with the amazing Debora of TheBlackPinafore!
This creation is a classic peasant dress, made from a delightful rayon with the most luxurious drape. The cheerful print consists of large white dots accented with sprays of pink and green flowers on a brilliant royal blue background--it's such a happy print!
As always, Debora's workmanship is impeccable, and the dress is finished with great care. Made from a 1940s Advance pattern, the style is a simple one that features flutter sleeves and a drawstring neckline and waist. Debora selected a deep wine-red ribbon to complement the colors of the print, and surprised me by having a coordinating purse made by MyRetroCrochet! The cream crocheted bag is lined with leftover fabric and trimmed with blue raffia. It is a beautifully made purse, and although it was designed to match this dress, the neutral outer color means it coordinates with other outfits in my closet. I've gotten quite a bit of use out of it already, and have to say that I really love the idea of having a matching purse. So be sure to ask Debora about having a purse made to match your own custom frocks!
These photos were taken by Doug Monce of Atomic Age Pictures at the CAF museum in Mesa.

Love the fabric and style of that dress. And a purse to match? Fabulous! Looks perfect on you!
ReplyDeleteTerrifically pretty dress and handbag. There is such a classic, appealingly beautiful air to both of these handmade creations. They marry so well together and look smashing on you, dear gal.
