“One of my absolute most beloved vintage dresses. It’s a late 1930s cornflower blue dress with white embroideries and pockets! When I got this dress a few years ago, it had 1930s flutter sleeves, but I gathered them and hid the seam with a pearlescent button. I also replaced the damaged fabric belt buckle with this 1910s mother of pearl one. ✨ I have absolutely zero sewing skills so this just involved a few stitches. I never do alterations that are not reversible, and with this dress I feel like I’ve made it better. It’s a complete dream of a dress and the fit is absolutely amazing!”

This beautifully tailored dress is made of soft black crepe rayon fabric, beautifully decorated shoulder and neckline also in crepe rayon with accent colour beige and covered with a gorgeous red cherries and green leaves embroidery. The cherries are also decorated with tiny white metal buttons.

I adore this vintage 1950s knitted sweater pattern and hope to either learn to knit one for myself or get someone else to make it for me. Please let me know if you would like to be paid to knit this for me. I bought this pattern from ebay from wooltimefun.

Ida Catherine is one of my favourite vintage enthusiast’s who is active under the Instagram personae @idacath.
“I’ve always been obsessed with the aesthetics of the past. I long for dreamy, fantastical universes of ballet and pastels and try to recreate these in my personal style. I dress in the late 1930s- early 1940s clothing, preferably teenage swing styles. I have extensive knowledge of vintage clothing and styles from different time periods, but I have chosen not to dress historically accurate. Instead, I incorporate influences from movies, art, and ballet to express my personal style, although my wardrobe is exactly dated between 1937 and 1943.”
