mala_14I decided to pick an easy option for the CoCo 2017 Pool Party since I'll have to make at least 3 new things for it (1871 ballgown, 1918 suffragette, and 1910ish black & white) and maybe 1 more (1871 ivory day dress). Since the theme is the 60s, I was thinking of wearing something that belonged to my grandmother. I thought that the dresses I have that were hers looked rather late 60s. I tried on a couple and snapped some pics. I was thinking of this one, but it turned out to be a bit snug in the hips (too much junk in the trunk!), so I get weird wrinkles in the small of the back:
It's so fun though. I love the print!
I think I am going with this one:
It's super shiny! It ends above the knee (which you can't see in this pic) and has a cute little stand-up collar and sort of 3/4 sleeves with a little cuff. It's some sort of synthetic turquoise and gold fabric that is awesome:
All of the things that I have that were hers seem to have been made custom for her. My grandmother must have been a pretty fancy lady sometimes. :) I'm just guessing that these are 60s. Anyone know more? Also, how would I get wrinkles out of this? I'm afraid to iron it because I'd probably melt it.
