This is a handmade dress possible from the 50's in a pink and yellow cotton. Amazingly it fits me perfectly but is in need of some repair so I'll need to reattach the bodice and fix the rips. I'll probably take off the bows at the neck and pockets too.
A 70s maxi dress. I'm not sure about whether to shorten this one or leave it as is.
A 60's shirt - no alterations needed here.
A really great chiffon dress; not sure of the era, maybe the 70's. One sleeve was hanging by a thread so I took it off and I'm planning on taking the other one off as well to make it sleeveless. Then I'll need to add binding to the armholes and take in the bodice a bit.
She also gave me some red high-waisted pants from the 70's. These just about fit me, although in my post-Christmas excess state I have to breathe in :) and I love them, especially with my new shoes....

Oh that floral maxi is devine! I'd leave it as is!
ReplyDeleteI love them all
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky duck you are. The first dress with bows is so sweet, I'd leave them I think they make the dress. The maxi might look really nice made into a long sleeved mini dress with boots. Love the blouse and the plans you have for the last dress.
