Deco Palm Fronds
I've been sitting on this fun cotton fabric for awhile that has a art deco feel to me...and kind of looks like Palm Fronds. Then last week I purchased a beautiful, pleated, olive green skirt from Raleigh Vintage on etsy. When I got the skirt I instantly thought of that fabric and how it would make a great blouse for the skirt. So I searched through my pattern box...and being so excited to get a new blouse I didn't want to deal with one that had buttons, so I decided to use the bodice from Vintage Vogue's reproduction pattern 2402. I'm really happy with the results. I'm also realizing this is a great way to do a "muslin" on a bodice for a dress before cutting it from fabric that I really care about. I got lucky and this fit me perfectly straight from the pattern. It was a really easy bodice to put together and quickly. I think now I need to make a fun hat that has the same movement as the design in the fabric.
