While I should be focusing on the finishing touches on my wardrobe for the Art Deco weekend on the Queen Mary this coming weekend, I am instead working on a new 1920s dress for the Gatsby picnic in SF in two weeks :) creative procrastination at its finest!
I'm making the dress based on an original I saw come up for auction on eBay recently.
For the foundation of the dress I'm using this pattern:
Which I have made once before and really love the look of!
The fabric is a mossy sagey green in silk chiffon.
The fabric has the perfect drape for the 1920s. I'm going to add detail and decoration using a silk velvet in the same color, that's the next step :)
