I had two really cute blouses, neither of which was a good fit. Blouse One: Cute fit and pintucks but it is loose at the top and opens up badly at the front if you don't constantly tense your shoulders. Blouse Two: Absolutely gorgeous yoke but many, many sizes too small! Just to make things harder, the second blouse is so well sewn! The seams are even covered over with a beautiful selvedge! Lots of work to unpick! The yoke unpicked. Finally! The yoke pinned to the other blouse. Thankfully, the neckline around the top was nearly an identical match! It still took a bit of effort, though! All sewn together! It's not perfect, the collar underneath peeks through a bit at one point. The machine did not like all the layers so the sewing tension inside is a bit messy, thankfully it looks good on the outside. The skirt is from Dangerfield's The Lady and the Unicorn collection. This was a collaboration with the Art Gallery of NSW when the tapestries came to Australia...
What scrumptious finds! I adore the vintage looking Easter bunny themed packaging. It reminds me a lot of a similar looking rabbit that adorned the boxes of Easter egg dye my folks sometimes bought when I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you had a terrific Easter long weekend and really want to thank you, in the process, for each and every blog comment you have left for me in recent months. Your time and kindness are wholeheartedly appreciated, dear Laura.
Sunny hugs & joyful wishes for the second half of April coming your way.
