McCall's 6621: Suitable for tinkling the ivories in a 1940s film noir. August 7, 2014 22:10 2 Comments
I love the sleeves. I love the drape.
Such a sexy 1940s design, this McCall 6621. And yet, it isn't so revealing, so in your face, that you couldn't wear it to an office affair or to a party at your significant other's house without feeling exposed.
I think I would stitch it up in a silk crepe. Perhaps a periwinkle blue or maybe even aqua. Either would be smashing. And, yes, this scrumptious pattern is available at The Blue Gardenia, where you'll find patterns for the snootiest fashionista! (And we do happily ship abroad!)

Back in the 80s and 90s,I wore gloves. Especially one cool pair made of black mesh with white roses and green leaves sewn on them.

Ah, the days when women wore gloves. Not sure I would ever be able to pull off white, but I like the short sleeves on that example.
