Fashion Police

A little bit of fashion fun on this Friday - I can't help but wonder what ladies from the 18th century would have said, if they had the chance to critique 20th century fashion.
Hope your weekend is great!

Blue dress

This dress reminds me of a blue dress I had as a teenage girl - it actually drove my mom crazy, because for a while there I was kinda hooked on blue and wanted no clothes if it wasn't powder blue! Now it's my turn and often makes me smile when my daughter is very specific about what she wants to wear and what she will not wear, although she is actually very easy going when it comes to clothes.

Fashion circle

Two ladies from a vintage dress pattern - my entry for the circle challenge at Three Muses today.

Shades of Blue

Blue Monday? . . . . . . . not really :) -  my entry for Take a Word  Blue challenge. Have a great Monday!

Purple in Paris

Oh how I love purple, oh how I love Paris, oh how I love vintage . . . . . my entry for Three Muses Vintage Collage/Memories challenge.

Little pink number

In fashion, black and white combos are so chic, but I have to say that I really do like a simple dress in a striking colour, don't you love these two stylish ladies? - my entry for the black and white challenge at Take a Word.

Lady in red

It is not my favourite song, but the only one I could think of :-) My entry for the song challenge at Take a word this week.

Roaring Twenties

I really like the boyish look of the 1920's, although there was not a  lot of emphasis on body shape it had it's own kind of charm. The waistline if any, was located somewhere around the hips. The confining corset was discarded, replaced by a chemise or camisole and bloomers which was later shortened to panties or knickers and during the mid-twenties all-in-one lingerie became popular. My favourite - the short hairstyles such as the Bob cut, Eton Crop and the Marcel Wave became popular. Thanks for taking the time to visit - my entry for the 1920's challenge at Three Muses.

Fashion mail

Delivering the latest trend in fashion - the stamp dress ;-) My entry for the mail art challenge at Three Muses

Parasol

Just a pretty girl, with a pretty dress going for a stroll  - my entry for the Take a Word umbrella challenge.

Orange

"There is no blue without yellow and without orange." ~ Vincent Van Gogh. My entry for Theme Thursday's orange challenge.

Haute couture . . .

. . . is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable seamstresses, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. Therefore I consider myself a capable seamstress, having digitally sewn this dress with extreme attention to detail with time consuming, hand executed techniques from two different dresses ;-) The antique wire dress form, the background and the flowers are from the Graphics Fairy - linking to Brag Monday.

Le Rouge et le Noir

My entry for the Theme Thursday red and black challenge, I really enjoyed making this - don't you just love both dresses?

Wings

"So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!" - Peter Pan.
My entry for the people with wings challenge over at Theme Thursday.

Autumn

"Autumn is a second spring, where every leaf is a flower"
Albert Camus

My entry for the Autumn challenge at Theme Thursday

Friday freebie - silver frame

She reminds me of the classic cocktail - pink lady. One of the first "girly drinks" and a favourite of the high society ladies of the 30's. The frame is one of my own picture frames that I scanned, I have to say it took quite a bit of cleaning up and looks a bit grungy, but I like how it turned out - click here for your free copy. Let me know if you have trouble removing the white background, the png file was a 1.2MB so I decided to post the jpg. Try a pink lady this weekend!
