1950's Things! - Weekend Sewing Vlog

What were your weekend sewing plans? These were mine last week! A cotton 50's style dress and finishing a swing coat and coordinating hat.

Lipstick : https://besamecosmetics.com/collections/lipstick/products/dusty-rose-lipstick Stockings (I got plus sized since i'm 5'10" and the fit great!): https://www.sockdreams.com/plus-size-sheer-backseam-pantyhose.html Peggy Pumps (this is an affiliate link): http://www.royalvintageshoes.com/peggy-1940s-spectator-pumps-black-white-royal-vintage?tracking=5a62c1ae2f442 (note I disagree with these running large - I'm a 10 in EVERYTHING and these in 9.5 are too small for me. Like blisters that turn into wounds that bleed through my socks within 20 minutes small...) The cotton dress fabric was from Znicks yellow buttons from a vintage shop in PA floral bow fabric from jo-anns floral pink lining from jo-anns "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" (amazon prime original) "The Crown" (netflix original) Book: Practical Dress Design :Principals of Fitting and Pattern Making by Mabel D. Irwin (the designs are more authentic to the 30's when it was originally printed but the bodices are quite forward thinking) ✩✩✩ If you are interested in seeing more of my work or
