Almost done. All it needs to finish it is 7 buttonholes and buttons for the back. I need to see if I have thread to match the fabric for the buttonholes. If not, I'll have to get some while I am in town.
And later today I shall go hat-hunting! What a delightful prospect. When did women stop wearing hats or bonnets? I must admit to being more of a bonnet wearer than a hat wearer. I think we need to bring them back.Love,
Sarah
That has turned out lovely! I really need to get sewing me some dresses!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, we do need to bring those hats and bonnets back! I actually rarely wear either, but it is a self-conscious choice that I may be the only one and look silly. I know, rather vain and silly...but what can I say!
I'd love to find a lovely straw hat type...that would do the trick:-)
Happy hat hunting!
Lots of love,
Sommer
This is gorgeous! One of my favorite time periods too, for all sorts of things, not just fashion. I love the hats from then too. I agree that hats should come back, they add so much!
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful dress, Sarah! The lace adds such a lovely touch.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I hope you find the perfect hat to go with it!
ReplyDeleteOh my! It is lovely! It is going to look wonderful on you!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Great job, you are so talented. God bless!
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous! I love the fabric you picked! So feminine and pretty, I can just imagine it on a lovely lady with a tea cup perched neatly in her hands!
ReplyDeleteYour dress looks beautiful! The lace and sash give it just the right touch!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, Sarah! I love the bonnet; I wish that we wore them today! I love Little House and everything about it as wel!. I agree with you wholeheartedly about bringing back hats. I have felt that there is a desire from many women to do the same, but somehow no one is brave enough. I have started wearing a hat this summer and am rather liking it. Now, I have to get brave enough to branch out into more and different styles (mine is a simple straw with a black ribbon) and maybe even (gasp) wear one to church.
