Their is an interesting story behind this post, so please bear with me on this one. A few weeks ago I was browsing Pinterest as I am wont to do and I saw that my pal Chatter Blossom aka Jamie had posted this picture on one of her boards.
I was really excited because this is the image that I based my thesis dress off of, the one that I am wearing in this post. When I was doing research for my thesis paper (which focused on how WWII affected women's fashion) I found this image and just fell in love with it. For our thesis' we had to make a practical portion for the presentation and I chose to make the dress on the left. I left a comment on the picture and told Jamie this and then tried to find an image of me wearing it on my blog. I quickly discovered I had never worn the dress on here before! I was a little surprised by this and vowed to do an outfit post in the future so that I could show her my re-production. So Chatter Blossom, this one's for you.
P.S. I have another very exciting post coming this afternoon so please come back and check that out!
Oh my gosh, I just wrote a big 'ole comment and then I think it erased when i signed in my twitter to actually post it! Darn it! If this posts twice I apologize but I just wanted to say thank you for posting this for me!!! It is so great and cannot believe you made such a fantastic dress! It looks SO much like the old photo and I love the color you chose!! Glad you did this because that dress needed to be shown!

So lovely!
ReplyDeleteI hate when that happens! Sometimes technology is not our friend. It didn't post twice so no worries. You're welcome, it was no trouble :) This is one of my favourite things that I have made, I was really proud of how it turned out. I was surprised I had never put it up on here to begin with, haha.
