Spent yesterday photographing this skirt I whipped up a few weeks ago! I love the pastel pink and the 50s feel, and it was super simple.
It’s always lovely when something you make actually turns out well - pictures of my 1920′s robe de style! It took about 15 - 20 hours. The undergarments, headpiece, and dress were all made by me. Although there are a few little things I’d like to fix, overall I’m really happy with how it turned out!
College orientation took over my life! Finally back to the studio today, working on orders and a few little pieces for myself!
Robe de Style photos! Although I love the 1920s, I’m not sure how they wore taffeta in summer - it was 95 degrees when we took these and I thought I was going to pass out!

Yards and yards of chiffon and organza in the studio today!
I took photos yesterday of my 1920s Robe de Style! We gave up after about 30 minutes because it was boiling hot, so we're going to try again in a few weeks when it's a bit cooler. But I do love how these turned out! This dress, pannier and headband took about 20 hours to make.
Some quick studio pictures of my Robe de Style ensemble! It still needs hemming, but hey, at least I’m confident that the 20ish hours I put into this one were well spent!
I feel like a flapper girl and I’m loving it.
Pannier previews ;)
This is my first pannier ever, and I’m really proud of myself honestly! It supports my robe de style, sits comfortably, and doesn’t feel as strange as I expected it would. Although I’m not sure what the first person to come up with it was thinking, I’m glad they decided it was something worth inventing!

A few more photos of my newest 1950s dress! Loved playing around in the forest with a vintage camera and a puffy skirt
I’ve been under the weather, so today is a casual comfy outfit and some sewing work!
Little preview of pictures of my new 1950s dress! Love how these turned out, they're so dreamy.
More experimenting with my new Cricut! I made this shirt the other day - 'women and cats will do as they please'. I think I'm getting the hang of this thing! I have a new 50s dress to photograph and also a 1920s robe de style in the works, so I guess I better try to stop getting distracted by making t-shirts (but it's so much fun!)
My newest 50s dress is coming along ! All it has left to do is the hem.
