Lately I've been thinking about choosing a dress to recreate using
modern fabrics. This one below is one of my current favorites. I found
it on Etsy, and while I'd love to buy it, I'd love even more if I could
own a sturdy, wearable reproduction of it. It's a mid-20's dress that
would've been worn by a working class woman. Perhaps a factory worker?
It's pin-tucked wool with a linen insert, cuffs and collar. I can't help
but want to try it out, especially with the drawn-thread work in the
linen. My main concern is that it would look kind of funky on my
petite-yet-busty figure.
