Merry Christmas! I can't believe next Wednesday is Christmas! I'm not quite ready, but I'm getting close. Today I'm sharing some fashion over 40. Some I've shared before, it's been pretty busy around here so I haven't had time to take pictures. :-) I'm sharing this picture because I took a picture of my handbag I recently purchased from Kohl's. You can find it here. I shared this picture before but I love this burgundy dress I purchased from Marshall's. I wore this outfit this week to run errands. I rarely go a week without wearing my chambray shirt. Okay, I haven't worn this red dress from Stitch Fix yet. I took a picture of how I might wear it but I'm not sure if I like it. So I need your help! How would you style this dress? I think I might get a different necklace? I'd love to hear your thoughts! To continue reading go here.

This is a Sewing Pattern This is a 1950s SEWING PATTERN, this is not a dress -.-..The picture of the pattern may not correspond to the design, it is here to show how my paper pattern looks like..-.-. All my patterns are handmade to standard sizes or custom size and they contain English notes as well as notches that make it easy to join the pieces of the pattern together. A cutting diagram and information on the required yardage are included. To keep prices down, SEWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT INCLUDED. If you require Construction Steps for your pattern, please let me know before placing your order. - No hem or seam allowance. - No detailed instruction, only the notches and symbols, and named lines basic instructions. - No step-by-step illustrations to go with instructions. However, I can write some basic construction steps if you need or any specific steps in the process that you would like me to describe. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. . . . . 1950s sewing pattern could also be made as a short dress or top. The 1950s. Faced with rationing, restrictions, and shortages of fabric, designers used austerity, simplicity, and practicality as their starting points, but didn’t forget about fit or good design. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ . . . . This is a dress design pattern made exclusively for you, with your custom size or standard size. You will have your vintage design ready to cut and sew. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ . . . . Prices for custom (made to measure) sizes are the price of the pattern plus €20 Choose the pattern and then add the following item to your cart : CUSTOM SIZE SEWING PATTERN. https://www.etsy.com/listing/102701185/custom-size-sewing-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_1 FOR CUSTOM SIZES convo me your measurements and specify your body type. To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html Once you’ve taken your measurements, please paste them into the “Note” box on the Order page. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ How to choose a STANDARD SIZE? I can make standard sizes S, M, L, or XL with small adjustments to better fit you. Sizes are a tricky issue, and there aren’t any hard and fast rules, but I’d say my list of sizes is more European than American. To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html The best way to know your size is to take some measurements of yourself and use them to gauge your size. I can also modify a pattern to better fit your measurements. For example: You choose size S (Europe 40-42). If your body is closer to the first number, 86 (Upper bust/Torax 86-88 cm), than the second, 88, please tell me. Otherwise, the pattern will be the standard size S of between 86-88 cm for the upper bust. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ All sizes, both standard and custom, can be modified to your liking (for example, waist higher or lower; skirt longer, shorter, wider, narrower, unpleated, etc.). A dress can be made as either one or two pieces—as a blouse and skirt, for instance. Please specify any of these alterations by email, or at the bottom of the form “Taking measurements”.

What goes around comes around and when it comes to fashion it seems to be coming around faster every season. It seems like we just stored away our skinny jeans and here they are coming back. I feel like this iteration of indie sleaze will have more variation than before, and that it will favour other fits of jeans aside from skinnies since our eyes have been opened to the world of relaxed denim.

Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays. Of course, everyone loves getting gifts, but it has always been the decorations that I loved. I used to put up a Christmas tree in EVERY room, including the bathrooms. Most would be store-bought trees, but I usually had at least one real tree. My daughter...
