I like the lace, I think that's a brilliant addition, especially for a bit of weight at the bottom. <br />I love fluffy beach hair too!

Love this robe so much and even more for what you did with it. Lovely!<br /><br />Cute as can be with the purple hair. I love how subtle it is. I'm not going to dye mine quite yet. I have to let my hair rest from all the recent changes to it. seannaapprovedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546047220109216505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1056030033971466553.post-24655585362787537692014-02-23T22:10:39.262+11:002014-02-23T22:10:39.262+11:00Oh, it really was!

But this project was purely for fun, so I was able to largely ignore the difficulties.

The pattern is very elegant and can look quite glamorous - I once made this for my cousin in pale pink satin with pink marabou on the sleeve cuffs.

I look at the pictures and I think this fabric is called (in my country) "angel skin", it's smooth and slick.

On its own, I agree, that fabric doesn't immediately say "1940s", yet when put to use with this vintage pattern, it suddenly takes on more a forties novelty print quality and adapts to the decade surprisingly well. It feels a bit mid-century avant-garde and is redolent of something Schiaparelli might have created. <br /><br />Have a marvelous weekend!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1056030033971466553.post-65830634265443652312014-02-22T21:12:22.107+11:002014-02-22T21:12:22.107+11:00It looks wonderful, the sleeves are fab, I love so...It looks wonderful, the sleeves are fab, I love some poofy sleeve action!
