What are you wearing today??

[Miss Tuppence]

I agree, though I’m not against a bit of shoulder padding myself, but then again I’m built like a garden rake and have square shoulders so the late thirties are a perfect silhouette for me, (more than the earlier years) as it combines both femininity and the need/want for a broader shoulder line. Anyhow…

From a while ago ( I don't think I posted this, if so, sorry!)- the skirt is part of a 40/50’s suit, but it was far too hot to wear the jacket.
-Blouse knitted by yours truly,
-Sun glasses late 30’s,
-Parasol, 20’s,
-Scarf, 30’s and
-Hat, 40’s.

I really like this suit, and you seem to have found a perfect fit too. I think it would look great with a black fedora. Do you wear this suit around and, if so, do you get comments about it?

30's dress that I bought in a flea market a couple of weeks ago, I really love the shape
Sorry for the messy face and hair, it's been scorching hot in Finland for the last few weeks and trying to do any kind of makeup is completely out of question :-D

Another great dress danu. I love the neck on this one and the tube sleeves, and your hair looks totally cute so whatever. Is that the original belt?

Glorious Goodwood or a 1930s world in miniature? Either way I wonder if I can get into the Royal enclosure wearing this shirt?

I guess who is the influence here and I support it ;-)

the 20s had a low and almost invisible waist on dresses. the 40s dresses and womens suits have too much shoulder padding for my taste. so the 30s have the perfect feminine silhouette

hahhaa, I think you got your guess right indeed! ;-D

I'm certainly too curvy for the 20s' style, and not really much into shoulder padding either... so I guess I'm going to try to stay mostly in the 30s from now on

really lovely! <3

would it be possible at all to see some picture of the inside of the parasol? it looks quite intriguing

thank you very much! no it isn't, that belt was found in a different flea market and I'm actually not sure about how old it is. But the dress seems to have had a belt that was about that width and I thought the colour was fitting enough. It would be wonderful if I'd manage to find a fitting hat though

Smashing, Miss T.!

Thanks Anton, thedanu and Bugsy. I have entered the competition and in about a months time I'll know whether my lack of ridiculous looking chinos lost me the competition.

Usually, I tend to find striped suits quite scary (as in hard to pull off) but TTO, I love your style and the fit of these suits!

 

[avedwards]

Thanks. I'm a bit worried about the fact that Esquire haven't put me on their website yet, as the competition is now closed but I definitely sent my entry two days before it closed.

This is from yesterday in the Sir Joseph Banks conservatory at the Lawns, Lincoln.

And this is from Saturday at Heckington Village Show.

This was me last night going out to dinner - 1950's dress, lucite purse, LK Bennett taupe heels, finished off with a lemon cashmere bolero:

My dry pin curl set didn't quite work out as it had done a couple of weeks ago - it didn't matter anyway as it was drizzling rain all evening!

 

[Tomasso]

Lovely....

 

[Miss Golightly]

Thank you kind sir!

Absolutely darling

I have to echo Tomasso and say.... lovely.... You always look so put together

 

[Miss Golightly]

Aw thanks Rue - that's really lovely!

I thought I'd just signed up for a hat forum when I joined FL. I didn't realize I'd be in the company of so many lovely ladies. And God only knows I'm a sucker for a pretty lady in a pretty dress.
