Making the clothing is definitely a better idea but research is needed to accomplish the design of that period, buying thicker materials, fabrics that haven't got much polyester will make it more effective. Christian Dior and Coco Chanel are good influences of the 40s and 50s. Abstract art of that period was certainly a good impact on that phase.<br /><br />If one doesn't have experience in making clothing, before I had the knowledge of making clothing I used to hang the clothing around me and pin to my body shape, then draw with a fabric crayon of where I needed it to be altered and cut a few centimetres from the line. Even a simple sewing machine will help, just make sure the edges are overlocked to stop the fabric from fraying. Looking at how your clothes are made undoubtedly helps. When we are determined to make what we want, things seem to happen automatically for us. The more we play with it, the better we get. :)<br />xxxCrazy mummy mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495374322125728073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374640396067823920.post-50718985733637026562011-09-14T00:41:10.273-07:002011-09-14T00:41:10.273-07:00"People have no idea that in the past clothes..."People have no idea that in the past clothes used to be fitted perfectly to a person's shape. Clothes have become monotonous."<br /><br />This is exactly why I fell for the 1940's / 50's asthetic and I'm trying to get back into sewing so I can make my own outfits. Plus reproduction vintage is SO expensive. I recently bought a dress and sent it right back because it was £80 for what was effectivly a black sack.<br />xxxRowena Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754324791917088449noreply@blogger.com
