It is about this time of year that the weather rather cruelly
decides to tease us with a bit of Spring weather, only to startle us back into Winter with the return of the cold/rain.
The only bonus is that things begin to bloom, which is rather lovely (except for the allergy issue). But is there really anything more lovely than a blooming Magnolia tree with a few petals scattered underneath?
Once I get a taste of the beautiful weather that is to
come, I want to ditch all of the winter-wear and turn to pastels and
lightweight fabrics, even if it does get rather chilly after the sun goes down.
With all of the recent Vintage Vogue Reproduction discussions, I
decided to pull one of my old outfits out of the closet. And it is always fun to dissect previous
projects and think of all of the things that I would do differently.
This pattern reminds me very much of the new Vogue 8875, updated for the year 1955.
Now, if only Spring would show up . . .
Dress & Jacket:

I love the dress, which finds itself in the fabric lining of the jacket. You look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely! I really do prefer this one to the new Vintage Vogue. The details on your dress are so lovely: the neckline, the little bow, the belt...
ReplyDeleteI love your dress and jacket. It's one I'd love to have in my collection. I much prefer it over the newer version.
ReplyDeletewow that coat is fantastic, love the pocket detail.
ReplyDeleteI completely adore that the lining on your coat matches your dress. What a wonderful, classy and timelessly pretty touch.

ReplyDeleteOOoooo, how did I miss this post! I actually went looking for more redingote ideas after your post on V8875 the other day, and ran across this pattern first thing. LOVE IT!
