Prepare yourself for a mess-collaboration of 40's fashion.

             

~1940's Week~

Rosie the Riveter

Happy 1940's week everyone (An Old Fashioned Girl) ! When I think of the 40's, I think of World War Two. Here in the first Captain America is Peggy Carter; some of my favorite styles from the 40's include her WWII uniform.

Then, if you all remember in the last Narnia movie, 'the Dawn Treader', Edmund goes to enlist for the war, and in Lucy's dream (or whatever you would call her taste of the 'beautify' spell) she is Susan in a very 40's looking scene. 

The 1940's are also a setting for the American Girl movie Molly, where again, we see World War Two happening.

More to come! Happy 1940's Week!

Clock of Victoria pt.2

Guess what everyone? Today I bought Bella's (the 1800's time traveler) dress! I got it from a local thrift store for $10.00, new with tags. The colors are a grayish blue and rusty brown, and in the back it also has a corset.

If you notice those ruffles on the bottom will serve perfect as a first layer type of look, and the corset, though it probably won't be seen, is beautiful. 

I'm planning on buying a jacket for the top of the dress, and the bottom we will sew on more fabric to make it longer. Maybe a bit like this look (if you take note of the two left ladies jackets).

Besides the dress, I also got a very good deal on this pretty little purse here-it was only a dollar. 

My main costume is in the making, and just yesterday I bought a few natural lip glosses that may be able to take other makeup products places. The play is in progress!
