OH! Pretty fabric, what kind is it? It looks a bit wooly from here, but that can't be right...

Its Bengaline Suiting and has a slight stretch. I think it looks like wool because it has a kind of white specks thing goin on :)

LAUREN!

OH MY GOSH! I loooooove it. I decided the other day that all of my separates should either be red, white, and/or blue as those are the colors I like to wear the most and that's some excellent inspiration!

Lauren, everything you make always looks as though it were made professionally! The blouse looks perfect. If I may ask, what padding/support did you use in the puff sleeves?

I agree. The blouse is a great Fourth of July wear. I usually try to wear red, white and blue for the Fourth. But I always end up getting BBQ sauce on something, and it always lands on a "white" something. :eusa_doh:

Thanks, all! It was a fun project to sew :) I had the supplies in my stash of doom for a long time and it was about time they came together!

okay, I am going to try very hard to find ample time to sew - you are all so very inspiring!!

I managed to make up a skirt from some vintage border print that was in my stash for a while now - it is a saloon themed border print. I also made the hubby's shirt, but it's not vintage ;) This photo was taken prior to my husband's 20th high school reunion last weekend while we were on vacation in Michigan. It was held in an old barn and I thought we'd look cute - well, we did but we were VERY overdressed!!

I am especially thrilled with the necklace as it matches the skirt very well and I found it at an antique store just a few hours before the reunion.
