This dress is Simplicity 3895 from the early 40s.
I've been in an early 40s kick lately but more on that later this week.
I also wore out my 40s turban for the first time. My husband wasn't too enthused about it but I loved wearing it!
When I first made this dress, I wasn't sure how I felt about how covered I was but it's a really great look for chilly days!
Overall, it was a winning look! Do you like jewel tones for fall?
Stephanie Lynn,
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous with your dress,turban, and all. I love jewel tones, I just haven't sewn any dresses in solid colors. But your post has just inspired me to go shopping for some jewel tone fabric and sew a nice fall dress.

This color looks amazing on you! I'm also loving the turban look!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love a 40s turban. Is it original or sewn?
ReplyDeleteIt's an original but was hand made by someone in the 40s. One day when I have more time, I want to try to make a pattern from it.
DeleteYou look lovely! Great dress for fall too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright, and vibrant color! And the draping of the dress is marvelous!

I love this outfit! And how cute are in you in that color? Add the hat and you seriously look like you belong in His Gal Friday.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with husbands and silly hats? My husband can't stand my silly hats either but I love them!! That turban is absolutely fantastic and the blue is gorgeous on you! x
ReplyDeleteI think they are just jealous. ;) But I make fun of my hubby when he wears his kilt so it all evens out.
DeleteThis colour really pops, and it has made a dress suitable for day wear glamorous enough for evenings too!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, and I think you're rockin' the hat!
ReplyDeleteYour turban is amazing! :-)
ReplyDeleteBreathtakingly beautiful! I adore your whole outfit (that hat is sublime!) and completely agree that jewel tones look awesomely with your colouring.
