A Skirt, A Hem, and A Blouse

I thought I would share a couple of images on my hair the day after putting it in pin curls and wave clips.   I felt like my hair was a little thicker in nature and I appreciated the loose curls.  My hair is now back to its flat ol'self.     The 1950's blouse I am wearing in these images is from Concetta's Closet.  It has a charming toile effect on it with bouquets of roses and sweet images of a two love birds picnicking in the countryside.


This is an image with my new dress form, Celine (named by my daughter), more on this form in a future post.   Isn't this rayon skirt fabulous?   It is cut on the bias and drapes beautifully.  It is however way too long.  It would drag on the floor if I wore it as is.  But, I am wondering if this wasn't partially the style?  Check out the beach skirts below.  I guess these ladies didn't mind their skirts gliding with the ground.  Looks glamourous in the vintage image but not quite practical for me.   I have already decided to bring it up this skirt a little.

Skirt purchased from Etsy Friendly Fox Vintage, handmade.
