- I didn’t sew this. I found it at a tag sale for $2, but I think it’s inspirational for the home sewist to aspire too!
- Yes, I wore stockings for the full effect!
covered buttons, so lovely!
- The lining was handsewn with, I believe, a catch stitch.
All of the embellishing is handsewn.

Just lovely…my kind of sewing, my kind of suit yummy
Wow, how beautiful! That material is scrumptious. I love the nubby look of shantung silk (which I’m assuming what this ensemble is made out of).
It is scrumptious! The fabric is a shantung silk, it has a fabulous sheen! I am going to tackle a dress and try my hand at the same kind of hem finishings.
Wow. Love the hand sewn embellishments! Beautiful suit.
Beautiful coutre work.
This is just so gorgeous, and what a steal for $2~~!!
