Christmas Shimmer| 1950's Christmas Outfit

Hello dear readers!!! Remember me? No I didn't forget you all. The craziness of life has kept me from blogging but I am glad to be back! I hope 2016 has gone off to a great start for everyone! This post is several months over due but better now than never. Right?

I'm excited to share my 2nd annual 1950's Christmas Outfit with you all! You can read my first one here.

 

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

I got my outfit inspiration from this 1950's Christmas card. Isn't it so cute!?
For the blouse I used Simplicity 1166. It took me awhile but I finally found the right sized metallic gold polka dot fabric for the blouse. The skirt is a full circle skirt with an elastic waist.

I am so in love with the fur wrap I made for my last Christmas outfit.

 

Happy Sewing!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas| 1950's Christmas Dress

Happy Holidays!!!!

I trust everyone had a great Christmas with family. I know I did!!!

I am so excited to share this 1950's Christmas outfit I sewed.

White Christmas-Bing Crosby
And yes I am dreaming of a white Christmas because here in Texas it rarely snows:)

I used Vogue 8789 view B which is actually a 1957 dress. A few changes I made were lowering the front neckline an inch and doubling the width of the cummerbund. Dress is made from satin and the cummerbund from sparkle organza.

I love fur coats and wraps. I had fun making this cream fur wrap, but it was a little challenging. 

Here is the crinoline that I made and wore under my dress. Because 1950's skirts just don't look the same without one:)
