Well, we still have another week of summer, and today Penny Lane is wearing a vintage dress I wore to a summer wedding eighteen years ago:
A friend at work altered it to fit me, and I was delighted with it.
A nice vintage handbag to carry, a handkerchief, and a bracelet my husband gave me:
Beautiful clip-on earrings, which are actually more aqua in color than they look here, and the butterfly hair stick - both gifts from my sister Tina that just happen to go perfectly with my lace dress:
The dress on this pattern was so similar, I just had to save this image to show you. This is a picture of a lovely collage that was made by the ultra-talented Julie over at Jane's Apron.
It has already been sold in her etsy shop, but she sells all kinds of delightful creations!
love that vintage dress! penny lane is so lucky to have your things to wear. is the lady that made your blanket coat the same one that altered this dress? i am in love with this dress.

That Penny is so together! And what great taste she has in earrings and hair ornaments ;-) Love T
ReplyDeleteHey Faith! Wow- you have a good memory! Yes, Mardean (Mardy) Carter was the woman who made the Pendleton coat, as well. She was one very talented and crafty lady. I am glad you like my dress. I just wish I had someplace to wear it, now that it finally fits me again!
