sketch |ske ch |

noun- a rough or unfinished drawing or painting, often made to assist in making a more finished picture: a charcoal sketch.

I'm so excited!  Some of the dresses I have been planning in the vintage style are almost finished!  I neglected to take pictures of them when I last visited my grandmother's house for a fitting so instead I can share the sketches I made of my wardrobe-to-be:


Top- Coral sheath dress with white yoke.  Bottom- Shirt waist dress- tan and beige pinstripe with cream colored cuffs and collar.


Top- Blue day dress.  Bottom- sun dress, white polka dots (vintage 1960s) with black lapel & waistband detail (added).

Top- light blue and white pinstripe skirt. Middle- light pink skirt (add bow sash?).   Bottom- bright purple high waist skirt with bow.

Top left- as yet colorless kick pleat dress.  Top right- red sailor dress.  Bottom left- navy and white wide striped nautical skirt.  Bottom right- tritone dress, but maybe a solid color instead. 
 So yeah, things are moving along.  The first two dresses and the polka dot dress are almost finished
 then the next projects are the blue day dress (altho I need to figure out if the fabric I want to use is going to work, there might not be enough) and the blue/white pinstripe skirt.  The other ones I still need to find fabric/patterns for.  But I'm having lots of fun designing my new 50's/60's inspired closet.  Let me know if you want to know the pattern numbers :)
