labricoleuseI have slacked off bigtime on here, so first off, i apologize for the lack of content lately. I have all these posts backburnered, so hopefully i can catch up over the holiday break and post them all.
So, without further ado, here's the final two sets of period pattern projects which were presented in Judy Adamson's 20th Century Women's Wear class. (Judy is the head of the Costume Production MFA program here at UNC-Chapel Hill, and though i am not involved in this class, i always love sharing the projects.)
These projects are pretty cool to take a look at together in the same post. The first one involves the utility dresses of the 1940s--wartime fashion and textile rationing made for minimal fabric use in many styles of the period. The second set of projects is the New Look of the 1950s, when post-war fashion exploded into excess and skirts ballooned to use lots of fabric!
1940s styles, left to right:
Teal crepe by third year grad Colleen Dobson, plaid cotton by third year grad Denise Chukhina,
blouse and jumper by third year grad Corinne Hodges, pink cotton by second year grad Katie Keener,
red and white sailor dress by third year grad Erin Abbenante
1950s styles, left to right:
Red taffeta party dress by third year grad Denise Chukhina, blue calico day dress by third year grad Colleen Dobson,
putty bengaline party dress by second year grad Katie Keener, teal and white party dress by third year grad Corinne Hodges, navy and white wiggle dress by second year grad Erin Abbenante
Another view of the same projects.
