It seems to flatter my face one moment and make my head look weird at another moment. So strange. But either way... It covers up bad hair beautifully, so I'll keep wearing it! :)Emileigh https://www.blogger.com/profile/13683866769745929646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-52980391723275283072015-05-27T15:44:47.925-05:002015-05-27T15:44:47.925-05:00Thank you Hannah!

Are you familiar with the book "Dress Cutting -- Instructions and Illustrations for Sewing 26 Vintage 1930s Fashions" by Margaret Ralston? It's a great resource for making dresses like this. It shows you how to create a block pattern that can then be altered to make lots of different styles. <br />-Emilyvintagevisions27https://www.blogger.com/profile/16769861744181538664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-22699430624522344922015-05-25T23:54:33.858-05:002015-05-25T23:54:33.858-05:00Love the dress!
