Oh, Pink, that dress is darling! You don't see 20's very much, what a nice change.

Thanks! If I could afford to/get away with dressing in the 20s I would do it every damn day! I love that clothing was loose and free and comfortable! Sometimes I feel a bit restricted in the 40s/50s garb I usually sport.

I made this from a 1926 McCall's pattern:

I'm sorry I don't have a color pic. I killed two cameras within the past week. :(

So, so cute! I like it in black and white too.

This is my sisters Bridesmaid dress that I finished making last night. It's made out of gorgeous hand woven, hand dyed silk dupion. Expensive but so, so worth it. It's the same fabric that was used on my handmade wedding dress.

Nothing fancy...but I knitted up this tam yesterday. It's a tad big...but I think I look like a French spy or something. Not as schmexy, but still a bit enigmatic? lol

Clamdiggers!

Based on the same Simplicity pattern, I tapered the leg. With the detail, I cut the fabric on the bias to give a bit of a twist of the pattern. I like em!

The back has SIX darts and makes my butt look grand!

LD, you are AMAZING. The bias detail is fun, and I can't imagine how you got such a great fit on the jeans. Six darts = Made of Awesome. You've got to do what you've got to do!

Hey ladies! Please forgive the grotesque quality of my camera phone pic but I just finished this today. I had to show it off because it's so obnoxious. I plan on wearing this dress every day but Valentine's Day. ;) (The wife of a co-worker gave me this fabric for free!)
