40's Designs for the Over 50 Crowd


My next design challenge is to make a dress for a mom and daughter to wear to a 40's theme wedding in three months. Mom is in her 70's and daughter is in her early 40's. Dior's "New Look" in the 1940's was a body hugging bodice, waistline seam and very full, calf length skirt. I want these ladies to look elegant, be able to wear the dresses again, and have fun with the whole design and construction process. Wish me luck...I will need it. I'll post more when I have the design's sketched out....maybe even do a survey for people to vote on the style you think I should pursue!
