...work in progress


Hi everyone!
I'm working on two dresses right now: a dark green wool crepes dress (view 1) and a stretch cotton, tiny stripes in blue and white (view 6)!


Two good things about them: first, I can wear a size 14!!! I had only 16...and always hat to resize the bottom part...!
Second, the pattern is just perfect...the dresses fit as a glove!!!
Hopefully I can upload some pics on the week end...so stay tuned!!!

Coat...finito!!!!



Hi Ladies, I'm so proud to present you my first coat!
Well, it was very time consuming!!!
I must say it was not THAT difficult! The only thing that gave me an hard time was the lining!
The fabric is a 100% wool from Max Mara, and I must say it keeps very warm!
What do you think?
Yesterday it was a great sunny day, as you can see!!


As you can see from the two ladies in the back, everyone here wears black or dark jackets and coats...and vintage is not common...so I was kind of "exotic"!!!!








My kids!
