Finished Project: The 50's Peach Dress!

Hello! This is the finished dress I made from the complicated 50s dress pattern in my previous posts. I wore this to a wedding yesterday. It was 105 degrees outside, so I was very glad not to be wearing black!

 It's not my standard skirt block, It's the one that comes with the pattern, just upsized for my hips. I like the flow. The hem is hand sewn with the nylon horsebraid to make that hem lay full.

I also made the matching belt.

I am crazy about the green and peach color combo.

haha no zips. I hate zips. They poke me.

 

The length is tea length. 

 

The button is from Mema's sewing cabinet. My Mema would have loved this dress. She liked pastels.

 And of course, I am now a full 1940s reject with platinum and purple hair!

 Complete with full bang wave and spit curl.

I have had to completely adjust my makeups. I am wearing pale lavender eye shade and coral lippy. It goes better with the pale hair.

 

And I hade to got a tad lighter on the brow pencil. 

Cute, no?
