My 1933 Outfit...

This week we are going back a decade to 1933 for both the Sewing Through the Decades and the Sew Weekly Challenges.  I finished the EvaDress reproduction pattern of the Katherine Hepburn frock!  I absolutely love it!!   Here's the photos....


I adore the jacket details:

I did my hair in pincurls and slept on them--they turned out perfectly!


And the back (I was having fun with the black and white photo setting!):


More jacket details:

Full-length view.  I shortened the skirt by several inches (but I have to do that on every pattern).  I also had to shorten the scarf by about 2.5 inches.  Instead of sewing an closure around the wrist (with snaps), I left out the closure (i.e. just closed the seam all the way down the arm) and since I made it with lightweight wool that has a bit of stretch, I can easily fit it over my hands but still have the tight sleeves (which I love)!


 hehehehe...I like this photo:

Another close-up of the jacket:




What do you think?  Also, which photo do you think I should submit for the EvaDress competition?
