A smart 1930s frock worthy of a movie star. August 6, 2014 00:13 2 Comments
You've been quite faithful to your plan to eschew yoga pants except on the mat. One of the secrets, you have found, is to wear dresses: They are easy and comfortable to wear and easily fit into your gym bag. A dress is less bulky than separates.
You adore Hollywood 905 from the 1930s. The right view has that smashing wide collar, your weakness. And it looks as if it will be easy to make — and that's important since you are an advanced beginner.
You'll whip it up out of a pretty paisley rayon challis you found at GorgeousFabrics.com. You love the colors. And the print is reminiscent of the '30s.
And you can find this marvy vintage pattern at The Blue Gardenia. And you can find it in not one, but two sizes! Doncha love it?

Ooh, I like this movie star tie-in. Do the pattern makers still do this today? Probably not, since most stars dress so inappropriately…

It would be fun to have that today. But who dresses well consistently? Tilda Swinton and Penelope Cruz, maybe. Jennifer Aniston for classic style.
