Straight outta the 1940s


That's what someone told me today, that I looked, "straight out of the 1940s". It pleased me greatly because that's exactly what I was going for. I have a bit of an obsession with 40s ladies suits, but I can't really afford one, so this is my approximation of one. The skirt is a wool circle skirt that I made. The blazer is op shopped and I added an op shopped belt to give it a more 40s shape. The faux fur wrap and gloves are also op shopped.   


 The bag and the shoes I got at Brumby's garage sale. I made the hat using this 40s pdf pattern from Kallie Designs on etsy. I used some sort of mystery wool type fabric from the op shop, and an old button as decoration.


The pattern was really quick and easy. Now, I'm keen to try some of the other hat patterns in the Kallie Designs shop.
