Do you remember my post on Vintage Pattern Nudity from back in February? Well, I have been thoroughly inspired by all the sassy posing and have discovered that I, too, can look intellectual while wearing only a half slip. Phew!
Don't worry I won't be posting any pictures of myself in any of the other sassy poses in the future. After all, a certain level of decency has to be maintained on this blog, right?!
I used Gertie's Vintage-Inspired Half Slip Tutorial to make my slip and found it very easy to follow. I'm usually a helplessly slow sewer, but this was a very quick project. So, if you are ever in a sewing crisis and need a quick and uplifting project to remind you that you haven't completely lost the ability to sew, make yourself a half slip.
I made mine to go with my black wool skirt, which I didn't line. The half-slip has come in very handy and I've since worn it with many other dresses and skirts I have which are not lined. I may be making more soon.
Great idea - great shot!
ReplyDeleteYou do look decidedly intellectual in your half slip. Slips are so useful, I wear them almost every day. Also I love your shoes.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo and the slip! Glad you found the tutorial helpful!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I *loved* your picture!
ReplyDeleteI really, really like the photo!
ReplyDeleteAnd was inspired by the slip (I looove fast projects)...
Brilliant photo! Am almost tempted to... No, I'd look dreadful. I too made one of Gertie's half slips and I agree - it is easy-peasy and oh-so-useful.
ReplyDeletehahaha Hysterical photo. I'm going to make one too. I've just realised that my enormous sleeved dress is entirely see through!
