SOLD Thanks! This suit if a reproduction of a vintage style from a 1950's pattern book. The fabric is a buttery yellow rayon jacquard lined in cream silk/cotton. The jacket closes with hooks and thread loops under gold metal buttons. I debated for a long time about the hat and accessories. I knew I didn't want to use the same fabric as the suit, and I considered a darker color-opposite such as eggplant but ultimately decided to stay in the pastel family. The silk chiffon scarf and hat bow does a bit of yellow in it--it just doesn't show much. The hat is made from stiffened gold aida cloth and I'll post a pic later of the beginning of it. The suit and hat are available for $150 plus $6 shipping in the US. Shoot me an email at nwickman@chartermi.net if interested.
The hat involves lots of Spray n Bond Fabric Stiffener, the cap from a bottle of iron tablets, a 6" styrofoam ball and lots of pins.
