I had made this 1930s pattern before, but I decided to make some adjustments to it. I made the waist smaller, and I removed two bows from the front. The dress is made from basic cotton, and I chose to use a simple poke a dot pattern for my fabric choice. I think it turned out lovely! I didn’t add in a zipper, so it was a little snug. I think i’ll add a zipper to it later.

I had this idea of this color block 1940s dress in my head for a while, so I decided to make it. I wanted to have a set of winter dresses that were comfortable, but that I could still wear around the house. I chose felt fabric and a 1940s dress pattern with long sleeves to give the dress a more comfortable feel.

One day, I got bored. So I decided to sew a dress from a 1940s wrap dress pattern that I  had lost in my sewing drawer. I made some alterations to it by adding elastic to gather the top instead of just gathering it the old fashion way. I also added a little flap on the left side of it that made it look more like a vintage summer dress. I made a matching turban for it as well, but I decided to pair it with some handmade flowers I made instead. The dress also has an amazing v-neck back that I had to alter a bit as well. Overall, I love how the dress turned out, and it only took me about four hours to make!

I made this set from a 1940s pattern. It's not an original 1940s pattern, but rather a reproduction of a 1940s pattern. I made it from cotton fabric with a gingham pattern on it. I’ve decided to sell it because I'm a fuller chested woman, and the top rides up too much that it exposes my bra. So this would do good on a woman with a smaller chest, so keep that in mind when buying it. The back of the top is closed by snap on clips, while the back of the skirt is closed by a zipper.If you’re interested in this set, check out my shop page.

I got a lot of questions about this galaxy dress that I had made recently, so I decided to make this blog post to describe how I made it. I got the fabric from Joann’s, it’s just plain old cotton fabric with glitter on it. I used a true vintage 1940s pattern for it. I loved it because it was long sleeved, and it was perfect for the coming winter/fall months. The pattern originally had buttons, but I didn’t want to ruin the fabric of my button hole machine wasn’t working. So, I used snap on buttons instead. I then added pink trim on the pockets and collar. If you want a dress like this for your self, visit my hire me page.

When we hear ‘body transformation,’ our minds often jump to dramatic physical changes. But what if we broadened that scope, embracing a myriad of changes both inside and out? So, let’s wander down this road and shed some light on how transformations can be personal milestones that deserve to be celebrated without an ounce of guilt. Link A New Perspective On Transformation What does transformation really mean? It’s easy to focus on the physical: weight loss, muscle gain, or changing hairstyles. However, there’s an internal journey that often goes unnoticed - the one where you grow emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. Maybe you’ve taken steps to heal from past traumas , or you’ve found strength in vulnerability; whatever it is, this is part of your transformation journey. Every step you take in understanding and bettering yourself, be it physical or internal, is a transformation worth celebrating. #1.
