I'm writing a novel set in 1915 and I described a dress which the heroine made over from an old dress -- the blue dress in figure 5 is a perfect match!Sherri Georgehttp://www.facebook.com/sherri.george.58noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-32182383615647264712012-01-10T09:21:28.223+00:002012-01-10T09:21:28.223+00:00So many pretty dresses!

Although it's meant to be a happy occasion, "Your Boy and the Great Adventure" sounds ominously close to Peter Pan's "To die would be an awfully big adventure".

I just opened this post while watching Upstairs Downstairs on ITV3, and Daisy and Edward have just got married - she's wearing a dress almost exactly like the one on the magazine cover you posted and he's in uniform and leaving for the front tonight!<br /><br />I'm obsessed with this period - thanks to a blogger whose name I can't remember (HUGE apologies if it was you), I discovered these archives of L'Art et La Mode magazine a couple of weeks ago - all free! http://patrimoine.jalougallery.com/lart-et-la-mode-archivesa-55-1910.html<br />SO much loveliness to look at!Katehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/22939041@N03/sets/72157619199518464/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-492923757483355442012-01-07T09:35:37.628+00:002012-01-07T09:35:37.628+00:00Oh I love these pictures! SO inspiring! I'm lo...Oh I love these pictures! SO inspiring! I'm looking forward to this year, making some Edwardian era garments. However after some careful consideration I decided not to be a test sewer for the 1912 project, mostly because of time issues, but also because if I'd be sent men's och children's patterns I'd have no one to make those garments for. (I can barely talk my man into wearing a simple suit, so...) Did you decide to do the test sewing? I think I'll just do my old thing and draft a 1912 dress for myself!Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268155250641535766noreply@blogger.com
