50ies inspired Vintage Dress Project

In the last post I mentioned a dress designed by David Crystal (the creator of Lacoste):

"This is a fall/winter dress in a brown and black wool herringbone. The dress has a small collar faced in black velveteen. String tie circles the base of the neck with a wrap knot in front. The bodice is dart fitted through the bust and midriff to the natural waistline seam. Short, set in sleeves have turn back cuffs in black velveteen and a two button decoration. Full, accordion pleated skirt falls from the natural waistline seam. Center back zipper closure. Black velveteen belt."

I scanned the fabric I got three weeks ago and am thinking - should I go for the brown, or should I choose the bw-tweed?

I think both would be fitting, but I'm kinda stuck with the brown color, since it was the original idea.

And I like the lining fabric I have, it's a rayon-silk blend.

What do you think? Would be happy to know your thoughts on that.

Instead of  studying  I sum up the glorious pictures I came across this weekend, or now. 

I have an exam in nearly two hours... and..  I don't even want to mention the coat.

(Thoughts singing another version of A-HA's "Take on me ._.)

 

Foxhunt - Baby! The American Duchess was lucky enough to reached the #1 most voted slot, and her design was produced in no-time. Luuucky Biaaaatch! (Admire her works, no offense! :)) This pretty baby is too expensive for me though. Sigh sigh.

This room would be a dream come true for me. A tree in the house. A tree!

 Key-Collection. Lovely. Seem at Thought Patterns.

Look at these fleamarket finds at a little noveau.

Thanks to Rose I'm totally in the mood for dresses, lately.

Pretty!

THIS is the most perfect Vintage Dress for Winter! Three weeks ago I got myself a nice woolen tweed in brown, so I think I just have found its purpose!

In love! With the NoaNoa Christmas Collection. >> Noanoa.dk

 Oh dear, the mass of this post would be enough for 3 posts, actually. 

Nevermind.
