Fashions of 42nd Street
Since rewatching 42 Street and drooling over SuperHeidi's handiwork, I've become re-obsessed with 30s jumper dresses and skirts. These beauties look even cuter when worn with a ruffle blouse and beret. Wait a minute, that sounds vaguely like my favourite outfit in the late 80s. Ah well, watch for me rockin' a version of this look later this year (top secret project in progress that I must not reveal until Sept.) :).
Ah, it’s all too much- I don’t think I could possibly choose which pattern to have if I had the choice- they are all darling! Tups x
ReplyDeleteLove 42nd street - could get endlessly lost in that film x
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this look as well! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Simplicity 1145...those sleeves...amazing! Can't wait to see your super secret project!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the big reveal! Those are some fabulous patterns.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered you! This is fabulous! I love 1930's clothes. I very petite and so 30's doesn't often look great on me especially the longer skirt styles but I LOVE 30's fashions. I can't wait to follow you! Cheers.
ReplyDeleteLOVE these paterns so much! I want versions of them all. Ruby Keeler is such a style icon in that film, its one of my all time favourites. Can't wait to hear about your secret project! :) xx
ReplyDeleteI am simply swooning over your blog and this post! Recently I wore a jumper dress w/ ruffle blouse...not as long , but was my nod to era, complete with cloche style hat! Can not wait to see your photos of you wearing it!
ReplyDeleteoooh, thanks for the mention! I was so thrilled when I found that pattern on Etsy.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Debi here, those 1145 pattern sleeves, oh my...
Fab, Love the 2nd down, I could wear that but not straps across the bust
ReplyDeleteGorgeous patterns, love the first and third ones x
ReplyDeleteI love the 30's pinafore styles, there's just so many different variations of them it's not always the typical "80's jumper" that you would think of. I think my favorites might be the 3rd and the 5th but these are all pretty fabulous! Can't wait to see what yours looks like!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite Berkeley musicals!! And of course Ruby Keeler is too adorable in her little tap dancing ensemble for the title song!
ReplyDeleteI love all these patterns, and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us!!
These are gorgeous, love the last one espec.!
ReplyDeleteI adore 42nd Street, isn't it a great film xx
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I have a photo of my grandmother in the 1930s wearing what looks like a jumper dress (with a beret-type hat!), but I think it's actually overalls. She's sitting in the photo so it's hard to tell. I'm loving the first pattern, and the second one (with the Peter Pan collar).
ReplyDeleteJumpers win! I'd love to see you in one of these!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my new followers...and thanks again to everyone for your comments. I can't wait to share what's in the works...but mustn't crack until Sept. HAH! I love that there are so many styles to choose from! I loved reading what everyone's favourites are!
ReplyDeletelove the last ones
