Red 50's style Hellbunny dress



Now this is a dress I would love to have the sewing pattern of! It's the red  with white polkadots Olivie dress from Hellbunny. One of my favorite clothing brands. I am not wearing my What Katie Did Merry Widow underneath. Because there was no one the help me getting into it when I was getting dressed. But I am wearing a crinoline underskirt. And my husband liked the surprise when he got home from work.


Having fun with my cateye sunglasses...

My husband was having fun. But be honest it is a great apron, isn't it.

It looks splendid on you!

It also looks like it has a slightly elevated waistline--about 2.5 cm above your natural waist. Am I right about that, or am I seeing things?

Your spot on (as always)!
The bottom white line of the waist section is on my natural waist.
The waistband of the dress is about 2,5 cm too high...

My peplos is finished by the way, natural linen, completly handsewn :)

I'm looking forward to pictures of you in your peplos. The event you made is for is next week, right?

Cathy's right: "glorious" is one of the words that would apply ;)

@Cathy, it is upcoming weekend. Hopefully I can show you the pictures next week!

Still looking for early period,5 th century, jewellery. But it's very hard to find. Do you know a shop on-line that sells 5th century discbrooches?

@Caillin You make me blush! And nice to know that you are reading along.

@Isis Thanks! :)
