This weekend went by WAY too fast (as they tend to do during college, especially during the last two weeks!), but I'm proud to say I finished a sewing project!!! I've worked on a dress from the 1960's McCall's pattern #5517. This summer I made the jumper dress (which you can see styled here), and this semester I decided to tackle the wiggle dress. It was much more complicated simply because it requires a lot more fitting and pattern altering, not my strong area when it comes to sewing. I'm still learning a lot. However, though it's a bit more..... "pin-uppy" than I originally intended (for some reason it's a bit tighter than when I made my muslin.... I have no idea what happened...), it's completely wearable! I'll showcase it later this week, so come back to see more! I chose this type of dress because it's so versatile and classic. Although not always perfectly period-accurate, it can be styled to resemble almost any 20th century decade: (photos from here unless otherwise stated) 1920s Pair with a 1920s-style hat (bell, cloche, etc.), a baggier cardigan, finger waves and smudgy makeup Lois Wilson photo by Ray Jones 1930s Layer a blazer or long jacket over the top of the dress with a quirky 1930s hat, waist belt, soft fingerwaves, and some ladylike gloves! 1937 Dickins & Jones Ltd. 1940s This one's pretty easy because the wiggle dress has a similar silhouette. Pair it with a cute 1940s topper or tilt hat, an era hairdo (victory rolls, pin curls, or up-do), gloves, and some hot red lipstick. If you're feeling glamorous, add a fur stole or coat! Bonwit Teller Autumn- Winter 1941 "Smart Woman's Angle" 1950s This one is also a lot like a 1950s shape already, so it's all about accessories. A capelet, detachable collar, gloves, pearls, clutch, and feminine hat would make a perfect 1950s outfit! R & K Originals, 1957 1960s Obviously, this pattern comes from the 1960s.... so it will be easy to get this look! Pair the dress with some little gloves, a fun bouffant, chunky jewelry, and a pillbox hat for a look Jackie O. would be proud of!
