Sadly the hair is gone :Cry:
I made the mistake of trying to colour it at home and it broke off in clumps. :eeek: This is what it looks like now

WOW just from colouring it?? I do think it looks lovely (that's about my length now as well!) and the colour came out really nice! But that must have been devastating!

it is!! It's a (rather large) yarn heart, with knitting needles! (I am a nerd)
You can see it better here:

Wow! Im not a big fan of chest pieces usually because they all look the same somehow, but this one is so awesome.

Thanks so much for the comments on my playsuit, gals!
Drappa, I wish I had my own label, too (maybe someday, God willing).
Cherry Lips- it's blue and pink and white and green. There's pics in color on my blog :)
Annichen- I wish it was my house! It's classic star Leo Carrillo's house. They made it into a public park. The pool's actually only about knee deep now! lol

Geiamama, you are beautiful! I love those colors and the floral pattern on the skirt, and the belt is so cute!
LittleMissToniJo, you are adorable!

Oh really?!He was such an icon. How wonderful that they made it into a park. I understand that the houses of many golden age stars are gone due to parking lots (!),shopping malls etc. ..in my opinion,entire Hollywood should have been made into a park ages ago :)
Visited your blog and I must say it is easy on the eyes, hope I'll learn to make my own clothes one day.
May I ask,is it a must to have a dress form?

Geiamama, love that blue colour on you too! You look great, and your short hair suits you, I like it! :)
Kamikat, love your outfit!

Here's some of my favourite vintage dresses (one 40s and two 50s), which are all recent purchases. excuse the bad hair, though!

This yellow one is beautiful, but sadly too small! I just have to slim down a bit in order to do it justice :) It's extremely tight around the ol' derriere! :D

^Hmm, I must have a thing for dresses that are "too tight", since I think the yellow dress pic is HOT! I'm also a sucker for pink gingham!

Aw thank you all for the lovely compliments :eek:
Believe me, the yellow dress is too tight! I'd probably split a seam if I sat down in it! You'd have agreed if you saw me from behind :D. But thank you all for your kind words! :)
