I did a few new summer retro models meanwhile - a 60` dress, x-long 70`skirt and a cirkel skirt (also from the 60 ties).
For the 1. model, I used some retro viscose, very suitable for dressmaking. The dress has a side zipper and is very easy to put on. It also has pleats both in front and at the back and it goes down to the knees. It`s a very feminine model, so just to break the lady style a little, you can it with short boots or sneakers. Apologies to the lady style lovers - nothing wrong with it...
The 2. model is a x-long skirt (reaches your ankles) made of a ligt and drapy viscose jersey (really comfy) and it`s best to style it with a simple top or a blouse (fitted, of course). A boxy tee could be an alternative, but please don`t make it longer than your waist :-)
Ok...the 3. model is a very practical full cirkel dress made of jaquard cotton/polyester, falls beautifully, not leaving you fat and feeling like wearing a telt. It`s very feminine model, easy to mix with different tops. I make it with the elastic waist band, so you can adjust it just above the knees or wear it a little bellow the knees. Either way, this skirt is very practical little thing to have in your wardrobe.
If you´re interested in one of the models, I`ll leave the exaples for quantity and price of the fabric in shops and my price for making the clothes.
1. model (dress): 2,5 m viscose + 1 m polyester mesh (ca 200-300 DKK). Making it: 400 (DKK)
2. model (x-long skirt): 2 m viscose jersey (ca 100-150 DKK). Making it. 100 DKK
3. model (cirkel skirt): 2 m jaquard cotton/polyester or another drapy fabric (ca. 150 DKK). Making it: 200 DKK
I`ll wake up from the dead again, once I have news to share, so take care until then :-) Ciao
Alma.
