I like all your ideas, and it’s so nice to see your ideas for styling patterns that read more modern as vintage. IMO I’d pick the Betty dress for the 50s one as the kitty dress, while lovely, might read very similar to the one you chose for the 40s dress since they both button up the front and nobody will see the top part under your lovely jumper (assuming it’s not too hot). But of course you will pick what works best for you 😊 can’t wait to see how they all turn out.
I totally agree with the floral fabric. Having lived through the 60's in my early teens it would be fabulous above the knee with white 'kinky' boots as we called them ...not knee boots and not ankle boots somewhere between the two.. Your other ideas are fab.
Sound like fun! I just made the caftan pattern. A couple things I will say, the back can be made in one piece as the button is completely unnecessary. The bust however is quite high so even though I fit into the small measurements I made the large so that the bust would fit lower on my chest. I really dislike an empire waist that cuts halfway across the bust. You'll see what I mean when you do the toile. But it's a really cool pattern
Love going to Goodwood Revival. Next year, I’m hoping to go to Twinwood. Looking forward to seeing all your looks. The hairdressing salons at Goodwood are great, I would suggest pre-booking. X
I would love to see you making your vintage outfits! Although it seems a lot of extra work for you and the weeks will fly by. Love the kaftan but my preference would be the super bright fabric, it just shouts 60s ❤
Hi, oh you are going to look stunning. I have been going to Goodwood revival for the last 10 years. We go Thursday through and camp in our vintage caravan pulled by our 1962 Ford Thunderbird. We absolutely love it. I normally make my clothes but this year I think most of them are pre loved. It was my 60th birthday this week and my husband has booked for me to have my hair done in Betty’s on the Friday morning 😱😎. Hope I bump into you. Take care.
That sounds incredible! What a beautiful car 😍 I love that you’re getting your hair done at the salon! It’s going to look amazing 😍 do come say hello if you see me!! Also my husband would love to see your car 😂❤️
I agree with you about the 60s one. The floral fabric is more 60s. I was born in the mid 70s and I remember women wearing floral kaftans to the beach even in the early 80s. I also remember them wearing the floral swimming caps very typical from the 70s. I used to be very sad that I didn't have one myself 😂 Looking forward to seeing your makes. I have the Rosery jumper and it's a lovely jumper. I think it's very good how you came up with the colour scheme as you'll get your 3 colours red, blue and white in the outfit 😊
Thank you lovely! I think that fabric is going to be the best for 60s and I can’t wait to wear it. I love the idea of a matching swim cap 😂 fashion used to be so much more fun!
I loved this. I’m a huge vintage fan so this was right up my street. I also enjoyed how excited you are about it, you can feel your enthusiasm. I’ve never been to Goodwood and would love to, I enjoy seeing everyone’s outfits on social media every year. I’m really pleased that you are planning to vlog it. All these outfits will be brilliant. I love the palm print fabric but think you are correct that it may come over too 70s. Yes please to progress videos.
