rayon stashed since california days
not certain i like this form – rayon is heavier & textured
possibly another iteration to come!
Things have been quiet on the blog! Am working on my annual October (non-sewing) projects more & more, but keeping up with blog reading & writing so far. Expect that will shift in another week … 🙂
Last week I read the library’s copy of Elegance, by Kathleen Tessaro, as recommended by The Vintage Traveler Lizzie here.
After reading about half the Tessaro book, I became more interested in reading the original volume, A Guide to Elegance, by Dariaux* , which Tessaro quotes at the beginning of every chapter. So I ordered the Dariaux today.
Sure hope it arrives whilst there’s time to look through it!
* “A complete guide for every woman who wants to be well and properly dressed on all occasions” Genevieve Antoine Dariaux (1964)
Gosh, didn’t know they were being shown again!
Thanks for the news – might have to leave this as is.

I love kaftans, mum in law introduced me ( she a young lady of the 1960’s) so comfy for the house but i have seen some fantabulous posh ones about in our high street shops lately, guess they must be the rage again!? X
