I found this photo, which came from a French fashion magazine dated from 1949. No, it's not Audrey, but it sure looks like her! I was captured by that classic look all wrapped up with a dramatic hip sash. There are some styles that shouldn't be allowed to die. Don't you agree? Just think, if no one had saved that magazine, the evidence that this style had ever existed would be difficult, if not impossible to find.
Here is my version of the style. The bow is cute without being frou-frou. I paired it with a pheasant feather hat, which I think works together. It's the first time I've been able to put pheasant with anything!
I also did a flared skirt version which I think will suit many more figures. My daughter is standing in as model. These pictures came out so cute that I've decided to do a pattern giveaway! To enter the give away, just leave your comments about this pattern on the contact form at
