Monday's school outfit

Yet again Monday arrived - what a surprise - and off to the PR-course I went! This time wearing a dark green dress I've made myself. The pattern I used is from 1949, just after Christian Dior had introduced the "New Look" with wider, longer skirts. The fabric is quite heavy, which gives it a nice flow.


The peplum is attached to the belt, and can be removed. Black, transparent gloves from "Cheap Monday".


The diamond shaped hole below the collar is fastened with a hook and eye. But it easily opens up by itself, so I usually ad a brooch there to keep it closed. This is the one I like to chose. I think the dark read stones go well with the dark green of the dress. Brooch is vintage.


On my head I'm wearing the "Dreadful Hat", by Magdalena Kellerman. I earlier wrote about it here.


As I've said before, I'm ok with wearing fur if it's vintage, and the taxidermy animals Magdalena uses when making her hats all died a long time ago! Some might think this hat - and the one I bought at the Vintage Fair, also by Magdalena - are a bit morbid. Well, maybe they are, but I love them!

    Tror jag aldrig sett ett sånt skärp innan jag sydde ett själv. The peplum (va fasiken heter det på svenska - "skört" kanske?) brukar ju sitta fast i jackan, så har man sen en kjol till. Men det é alltså bara att köpa ett mönster och sy själv! :)

    Hej! Hittade hit via en av dina kommentarer på Fanny Kellermans blogg! Vad roligt att hitta en ny spännande blogg i detta härliga ämne 40 och 50-tal. Nu har jag lagt till dig bland favoriterna!
    Vad otroligt fin klänningen ser ut. Önskar jag hade mer tålamod och tid.
