I too adore the 1920s but having a large posterior makes me shy away. Now I am rethinking this, I am very new to sewing. I've only hand sewn skirts. Sewing sleeves and cutting the patterns out to fit my size is hard for me. I've wasted a lot of perfectly good fabric on projects that I've never finished.

I had always thought the 1920's wouldn't be a flattering decade on my curvy shape, I love me some waist definition, but I was pleasantly surprised once I made a few "one hour" dresses myself just how much I enjoy wearing them! I eased into the shape by making sheer dresses and more fitted slips to begin with for a bit more flattering look.

They are my fave, and actually softer and of a tighter weave than the forties and fifties cottons I have worked with. Your dress is adorable, and I'm glad you were adventurous and went for something new! <br /><br />Speaking of being adventurous, I went through a crush on Egytology, too! If you haven't yet read the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters, I think you will lurv it! Amelia is a fictional delight. The first book is a little light weight, written at the beginning of the author's career. As her writing matured, so did the characters of the indomitable Amelia and her Egyptologist husband, Emerson. I recommend starting with one of the later books to see if you like them, (although I suspect you will,) then backtracking.<br /><br />Emerson reminds me of my own husband in that his adventures result in havoc on his wardrobe. My favorite quote from the series is when the ever practical Amelia says, "Not another shirt Emerson!" When he once more shows up in disarray, shirt torn and buttons missing after evading an antiquities thief or other antagonist.Piper Springshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719306397124499228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676620122743768137.post-64284607785619082842015-08-12T08:05:37.279-04:002015-08-12T08:05:37.279-04:00I think you've nailed the silhouette!

I keep going back and forth about wearing it. I really like the print you picked, and the piping is a great little touch! Julianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134771358325901297noreply@blogger.com
