Let's get caught up! casual wear, and butterick 4790

Hello my Girlies!!

Haha.


I'm sorry if this seems rushed... but I've been at the Library for two hours and I'm sure mom will be back any moment... plus I'm hungry so I'm going to go down to the cafe and eat here pretty soon.


Anyways, I just wanted to post a few pictures, #1 of my new fifties dress, (My first). From butterick 4790 . My only caution with this pattern is, they haven't adjusted the sizes to modern measurements.... either that or I'm just not used to butterick. I mistakenly cut out a size 8 and it was waaaaaaay to small. So I drafted the piece across my stomack. it does okay, but I can't run or go fast or the front pieces of the skirt indecently flip open.. :z


But I love it and will probably make this dress again... in a larger size...


Secondly I want to show a little of my "Casual" fashion. I LOVE men's clothes for casual/ work days. They're modest, comfy, and can be pretty when worn right.

Shirt: Thrifted

Jeans: old worn out, had since 7th grade... from Wal-mart??

Shoes: payless.. old, worn out.. but I think they still have them.. strangely..

And there you go! Comfortable modest and pretty!
