Chicago Mail Order 1935

The lounging jacket from The Invisible Man

Attn:

Thank you all for the interest in this garment. 

For those who are contacting me now (2022) please understand, this is not just a Halloween costume you can pull off the rack at Target. It's a handmade couture custom tailored garment. A beyond lifelong piece. Please expect pricing to reflect that.

If you want to get into the cue for 2023, I start taking commissions again in February.

Thank you.

Hello lovely people.

I has been some time since I've made a post on a garment that I've made for myself....and this is no exception.

I've been working on my new pattern line which is coming along nicely, I've been making new dresses for backers, and I've been doing alterations for others, all the while, trying to make that rent!

This is a project that I've been involved with for a long time. 

The lounging jacket from the 1933 film, The Invisible Man.

Wearing History Blouse pt 2

And the blouse is complete!

Once this puppy is pressed, it will be fab!

Catalog Sunday: The Final MnM lounge wear edition

As I wrap up this year's MnM, I decided to go out with a bang of lounge wear from Sears, 1942/43.

Enjoy!

MnM 2014: 1930s inspired pajama set

Hello lovely people.

I have to say, this has been and is, one of the most productive MnMs I've done. And the proof is my current pajama set, with a '30s inspired flair. The style of these jimjams are from two or my repro patterns. Making adaptations to the patterns was really easy.

This Sunday is Montgomery Wards loungewear from 1935-1937.

MnM 2014: Plaid pajamas completion

Hello lovely people. 

How is your MnM going? Good, I hope. Mine is pretty lively, and nearly complete. I've made two side pairs of pajama pants, and now, I present to you the lovely completion for the great pink plaid pants I made.

MnM 2014: Plaid is the new relax (whatever that means)

Hello, lovely people.

I spent all morning cleaning the apartment. Mopping and throwing away the last of the cat things that could be thrown away. The place seems a bit empty without a bit of fur running around.

Catalog Sunday: Loungewear Edition

Didn't post a CS last Sunday so I have a huge one this Sunday from my mid 1930s Chicago Mail orders. Getting ready to lounge!
