50's skirt

Thank you thrift store for helping me. Thanks for offering me a perfect basis.
Remember the black skirt with the weird ruffles I bought? I've removed the ruffles and made a new seam.



This skirt is a good basis for lots of classical outfits. I still missed such a classical piece in my closet. Feminine, simple but effective.

Back to the 50's

Ever seen fashion from the 50's? It's ever so feminine and body-hugging. No bad fitting jeans in which you can't even bend your legs normally. No lovehandles above the seams of your pants. No shapeless baggy cloths. Just well-fitting, comfortable body-respecting dresses.
I'm inspired.

However, no (vintage) shop seems to sell my size. Size zero is already rare, but smaller than size zero just doesn't exist. So, this afternoon will be filled with sewing. I'm going to sew my own vintage 50's dress. Simple, but effective. But first I have to repair the needle of the sewing machine, because it broke off while sewing last time. I should handle it with more care..



Less is more.
