El mes pasado compre este vestido de niña en un mercadillo de segunda mano en Barcelona pero en realidad se trata de una antigua enagua transformada que le cosieron un cuerpo de niña. Si te fijas el propio ‘faldón’ tiene varios pliegues para reducir su longitud.

image

Tras descoser todos estos pliegues y el cuerpo, tocaba reducir la cantidad de tela en la cinturilla, así que cosí unas pequeñas lorzas en la parte anterior y fruncí el resto de la tela para la parte posterior.  

image

Por último, saque el patrón de cinturilla haciendo una pequeña curva en la parte delantera para que visualmente enfatice más la cintura.

Women’s cape, c1900
Grey blanket cloth reversible white striped fringed thick wool

The fuzzy fringing with striped edges gives a very interesting finish to the plain grey side of this cape and picks up the bold stripes on the other side. The fleecy quality of the fabric means it doesn’t fray. Fringing has been popular throughout the world, often used on non-fraying fabrics such as leather or suede garments. Native American dress is one example of how effective this decoration can be on simple shapes.

To get into the spirit of Christmas I have chosen this very festive black and red corset. 

Dating from 1900 and probably of German manufacture and boned with a combination of whalebone and flat steel. Made from black sateen and lined in white twill with casings and zone piece in red sateen. The decorative black flosswork is hand stitched.
