Check out these beauties!! The one on the left is McCall 9918 and according to McCall's magazine: "Peacock is the new accessory color to use with black. A little is smarter than a lot, and in the dress above we used only a little--to face its long narrow collar, cut in one with the yoke."
The dress in the middle (my favorite!!) is McCall 9896: "Tall panels of contrasting color make fall dresses look exciting. Put the darker shade outside, as in the blue-and-wine frock, for slimmest effect. This dress has the neckline for a pretty neck."
The last dress is McCall 9932:" Silk-and-tinsel brocades are lovelier than ever. The brown-and-gold dress is made of this fabric. After the fabric, the yoke is the most important point. Everything has yokes this year."
Which is your favorite?
I love 9918 - the gathers at the yoke, the panels on the skirt and the little contrasting collar. So beautiful. Not sure about the dead animal accessory though!! :-) I really love bias-cut skirts at the moment. They really drape so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI love the one on the right, but in the blue color. So when are you making them? ;)
ReplyDeleteThey're all gorgeous, but I particularly like the one in the middle. I also like the detailing and colours of the one on the left. So elegant.
ReplyDeleteHm... I don't think I can choose, they are all so gorgeous. But I AM dressed in the same colours as the one on the left today (black with a touch of petrol underneath, that shows around the neckline) and one of my very favourite accessories is my grandmother's fox (exquisite!) so I guess I am already stylistically related to that one!
ReplyDeleteI will be honest... I love the lace hat and the black dress. I think it's very sofisticated and the teal collar adds that extra "pop" that you need to make it not look like a funeral dress. But that hat! I LOVE it!
