So I was pleased last Saturday when it was a bit chilly and I was able to wear my warmest dress. It is a 1930s reproduction from Sew Vintage Seamstress and made out of the thickest corduroy so warm, warm, warm! Sew Vintage Seamstress always works from authentic patterns and I loved the dramatic puffed sleeves and notched neckline on this one:
I feel like there is something almost victorian about those sleeves.
Sew Vintage Seamstress did a gorgeous job and the finished product is perfect:
I really love deep burgundy color and the notch detailing on the collar, perfect for a novelty ice skater brooch!
I also wore my thrifted embroidered leather gloves. They might be 1950s but I'm not sure:
and my American Duchess Oxfords that are just the most comfortable shoes ever, seriously you can walk miles and miles in these.
I love the whole outfit so much I almost hope that next winters a cold one!
