I went to the Textile Museum on tried on this dress...

It's a 1920s dream! I haven't done my hair and have no make up, and my boobs are in the wrong place since I'm wearing a modern bra. But still!

I am also wearing wool tights and dark blue patent oxford shoes, so they are not in the photo. This was not something that I planned, I just got the opportunity to try it on.

 

I wrote more about the visit here, and have some photos of vintage sewing machines.

I also bought fabric, but it's too dark to take any good photos now.

I probably should have worn some kind of flattening bandeau thing, but this was very improvised so I just wore what I had on.
