Kerry always manages to see past the era specific drawings on the patterns, something that's not usually a skill of mine, but I must try it more often. It's so nice to make something a bit different.

Your dress is just lovely on you; that fabric is gorgeous. I always love seeing vintage patterns made up like this - not at all costume-y, just eminently and enviable wearable!

I like patterns from all eras and I always enjoy reading posts when someone has made something different. It's perfect for afternoon tea.

If you're a fan of viscose you should definitely come to Gold Thimble with me, they have a fab selection.<br /><br />If you'd told me a few years ago that I'd have started loving 70s patterns I would have laughed but taking aside the wild ones, there is so much scope for lovely practical and wearable clothing, as you have shown perfectly here.<br /><br />Enjoy your champagne and fish and chips and I hope it's not too cold - you may need your thermals on under that dress :-)Kestrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984301306389767638noreply@blogger.com
