The long weekend's a memory. Work beckons. What to wear? September 6, 2011 02:07 2 Comments
Heavy sigh. The long weekend is over. Done. History. It was wonderful. You read. You swam. You relaxed. You ate. Fried chicken. Baked beans. Yum bunnies.
So. You need something sharp to bring you back to the working world. Without a thud. You shuffle through your dresses and suits. You nix this one. That one. No. No. Nope. Wait. Here it is: Vogue 5993. Circa 1940s. And so very special. So very very. In emerald linen. You'll wear your flesh pink pumps. And a Schreiner brooch. That sparkly one you picked up in Denver a decade ago. The one shaped like a comma. Fabulous. Yes yes yes. You will look grand. And even better, you'll feel grand. Absolutely.
The details: Complete. Even has the lush Vogue sew-in label. Bust 40. $85. And, yes, this runway-worthy suit is indeed available at The Blue Gardenia, where the patterns are counted, the jewelry is sparkling, and domestic shipping is free. (And, yes, we happily ship abroad, either Global Priority or Express, for less than the postal service charges us.) So saunter over, and make this haute couture beauty all yours. Don't tarry. Do not. This is one purchase you will not regret.

Very lovely, indeed but, my, you are into the raglan sleeves these days! How is the dress coming?

I am.
I have decided to go with a knit fabric, because it is the only solid fabric I have that will not clash with the dog hair (hip fashion accessory, don’t you know) and that is a suggested fabric per Butterick. I’ll probably cut into the fashion fab tomorrow.
