I think you did a really marvelous job blending the different influences that you wanted to bring into the garment, while still managing to create something that looks beautifully vintage and very you.

Granted, you really have to do your hair AFTER getting it on cuz it's a bit tricky, but it means I don't have to deal with a ridiculously long step-in zipper in the back. I used plain metal vintage zippers I had in my stash, and I think one is actually navy... but with the front lapped over the zipper, no one will know! I pretty much try to just use zippers from my stash, even if they don't quite match. (Unless there's just really no contender, then I have to go buy one. Ick.) It's not the best, highest-quality couture thing to do, but it works fabulously for the "make do and mend" lifestyle I've got going on!Emileigh https://www.blogger.com/profile/13683866769745929646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-73433997443643200562014-09-18T09:42:56.776-05:002014-09-18T09:42:56.776-05:00Emiligh this is amazing!

I also love how you infused your love of the history of this fabric into this dress. It really has meaning. I'm curious what you used to close up the dress? Metal zipper? Invisible zipper? Where did you place the zipper? It's so cool how you could use a pattern for this dress given the material and the strategic placements. You really are talented. I'm quite sure this dress would receive a lot of complements when worn.
