1915 clothing and links

I must have had a complete brain-lapse yesterday, because not only did I forget to prepare scans for this morning, but also include some links in yesterday’s post for some things I’ve participated in recently! Firstly, the lovely gals over at La Ville Inconnue (such a fantastic blog that should be on your reader!) interviewed me recently and it just went up last week. Thank you bunches, ladies–I’m so tickled! I also have been writing a couple guest blog posts over at Vintage Indie on vintage clothing. This is my first guest-post gig, and I was really delighted to have that opportunity. If you’re interested, my posts are here and here.

This week I decided to do some more scans of 1910s fashion; I have quite a few magazines from this era that I bought when I was a teenager, so lots of scan-post fodder! This particular group is from 1915, at a point when the silhouettes were definitely less constricted than even last week’s early 1910s fashions, and you can see the very beginnings of loosing interest in the waist, which would be the hallmark of 20s styles. These are all images of sewing patterns the home seamstress could purchase in1915, and I think some of the results look quite fetching and glamorous. I’m quite loving all the fabric suggestions and details in this set!

Back to work for me… Mondays are always my crazy, slightly off-kilter days to play catch up (including tending to the emails I let pile up late last week… yikes!). Hope you have a lovely Monday, friends!
