I finally finished a blouse from this 1943 pattern I found at ZipZapKap on Etsy:
The color scheme was inspired by this Threadless t-shirt design called “99 Luftballons”:
…so I called my wartime take on it the 99 Barrage Balloons blouse.
More details and lessons learned over at my blog!
completely adorable…both you and the blouse. The colors are perfect!
Lovely blouse! You did an excellent job!
Absolutely love the blouse. The colour combination is beautiful.
!!! I love this. And you look very cute in your creation.
Wow – I think it's magical how you go from 'everyday you' in the first picture to 'retro you' in the second. Your inspiration from the T shirt really translated well into the blouse. Love it!
beautiful, the whole look is superb.
