It was topped with a black velvet bolero which buttoned up the back, 3/4 quarters length sleeves and a cowl collar. The buttons were covered in velvet. It was devine. I wish I still had the dress and jacket.

It looks so simple and smart, I wish I'd find that pattern. Also, I can't wait to see your version of the background dress, which is my personnal fav.<br /><br />A 40's tailoring leaflet of mine mentions a 'bolero suit' with a high-waisted, flaring skirt.

Of course, it would have a matching dress, a green wool skirt with a contrasting patterned (the same as the bolero lining, obviously) blousy top. <br /><br />Silk and wool go so well together, no?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-68748889509248250012009-09-29T12:58:38.894-04:002009-09-29T12:58:38.894-04:00"Whack-whack" - I love it!"Whack-whack" - I love it!Christinehttp://www.knitsewwhat.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-36981984337083337552009-09-29T12:17:25.551-04:002009-09-29T12:17:25.551-04:00I don't mean to be a nag, but what about that ...I don't mean to be a nag, but what about that crinoline tutorial?
