Even though it's still fairly hot I was able to wear it today, it's the same design as the emerald top and the fabric is a silky poly something, it's textured and there are those beautiful bright bouquets scattered on it :) I know it looks like something Dorothy Zbornak would wear but I'm quite fond of my top! And the worst part is that I was actually drunk on wine cooler -I'm classy like that- when I sewed it. The memory is bitter sweet since the reason I drank that evening was that one of my beloved cats had just passed away so I really needed a recreation :( Therefore I chose a trusted pattern and cut a favourite fabric that I had been hoarding since 2008. Alright, I hope that wasn't TMI^^, have a nice weekend and see you!
I'm really sorry to hear about your cat :( Your top is beautiful, I love the fabric, and it looks great belted. I'm impressed with your drunken sewing job :)
RépondreSupprimerJust on the hanger it doesn't look very flattering, but you were able to style it well - it doubt Dorothy would style it as well, she would leave it shapeless.
RépondreSupprimerI love the Golden Girls! And your top looks great - very summery.
RépondreSupprimerHa! My original thought when I saw the picture was: love that print. Maybe I'm a Blanche Devereaux... But whatever, those Girls were fabulous!
RépondreSupprimerThank you ladies, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with a fondness for bold prints and caftan shapes^^!
RépondreSupprimerI'm so sorry to hear about your cat. My cat just died as well and I definitely did some drunk sewing, too.

RépondreSupprimerThanks for visiting my blog today and for your lovely comment, it's always great to find a new sewing blog. I can't believe the amount of sewing you manage to pack in, I love what you do. I'm collecting vintage sewing patterns at the moment so that will be the next thing - love the vintage dresses you've made!
