This seemed like a good project to put it to use. Because the theme is Old Hollywood, I decided I wanted Veronica Lake hair and of course I need the dress to go with it. The movie I'm inspired by is The Glass Key, because she wears this dress:

Mine will be sleeveless, with a gathered mid-section, and a half-circle skirt, all lined. That's the plan for now. I'm off to do some fabric shopping and need to pick up some notions for it. More later.*
