As soon as I get one more research project finished and emailed I'll be tackling a 1918 dress based on Folkwear's Armistice blouse, only with 3/4 sleeves. Probably three wide tucks in the skirt. Draped across my dressmaker's dummy is a piece of green lawn with ecru and dark brown stylized vines running lengthwise, a modern white linen table runner with drawn thread design that I'll be cutting up for the collar, a wonderful vintage faux mother of pearl pass through oval buckle about four inches tall and 1 1/2 inches wide for which I'll make a self-fabric belt, a piece of ecru silk georgette to cover a broad brimmed hat), and various trims to try once the hat is made. I can't decide on feathers or flowers. Ecru shoes with double faux buttoned straps are on order. Not sure of proper stockings.
