More birds and circle skirts...........


This is another new dress made from cute bird print cotton. This time I combined a halter neck bodice with sweet heart neckline and a circle skirt.
I paired the dress with the same blue petticoat from this outfit post AND under that I popped the red one for super fullness. My dresses seem to get bigger and bigger hahahahahaha.




This combination is great for photo shoots but not very practical in real life. I don't know how the real Peggies, Betties and Joanies used to do it??? I am willing to suffer greatly for the odd occasion but imagining this hoohaa every day??? 


I have also receive my Betty Draper dress fabric for the Mad Men challenge. It's beautiful and I can't wait to get my hands and scissors on it. I will try and make it up this week but can't promise anything. I have family here at the moment and we are going to celebrate my husbands grandma's birthday this weekend.

    1. I am. And they are getting bigger and bigger. I haven't really done any petticoats before and/or worn them with dresses. Now that I do I am making the most of them.

  9. Wow, your dresses are beautiful. And the petticoat makes a difference. Maybe I should try to make some myeself. I wish your pictures were a little bit bigger and brighter on your blog so it was easier to see all the details on your dresses.

  11. I love this dress! The fabric is so cute :)
    I know what you mean about the hoohaa, petticoats are awesome but so impractical for modern living.

  12. What a lovely dress! Reminds me of the greatness of petticoats! I only have one, but that one is a little too big (if that's possible). The print is gorgeous - please give us details!
