Okay, let's look at it from a costume design point of view that, luckily, takes into account your existing 1910+ patterns:
In 1927, a 34 year-old would have been teens and twenties around the time of the Titanic-era stuff you have and would have an affinity with that fashion. Grab some 1920 lingerie catalogues to get the underlying shape and adapt one of the patterns to that and your own shape; Add some fringe, lace, brooches and other jewels as required; and Fix your hair...most people will be looking at your head (sightlines in the room and, hell, that is the way you have conversations) so a period hairstyle will work wonders to get the look. I hope this helps at least to get it going, -C. > I've been invited to a 1927 ball> I'm desperately trying to find out what a 35-year old mother of 4 would have wornThe only > patterns in my collection are the Sensibility range (with titanic era dress > and 1914/15 dress) and ------------------------------------------------------------ This email was sent from Netspace Webmail: http://www.netspace.net.au _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
