Mars 2 the first
Fraulein Frauke Presents takes place and this time the theme is Weimar Cabaret. A great theme if you ask me and though I need a new sewing project like I need a hole in my head, I just can’t resist the temptation of doing an early 1930’s evening gown. Especially since I found this fabric at
Cheapfabrics, called metallic, slinky chiffon.
Being teeny weenie see-through, I will back it with some beige satin. And I have ordered this pattern from
Mrs. Depew.
I have always loved the backless gowns of the 30’s but as I have to wear a bra I think this would be a good solution. It ought o be possible to conceal a bra strap with this cut.
And, for your pleasure, a bunch of beautiful ladies from the Weimar period.

This is going to be so much fun. Those fabrics should be beautiful together.
Oh the glamorous and unbridled chicness of an evening gown like is so wildly appealing. I don't have the figure (short and curvy does not jive well with lanky 1930s fashions most of the time) to pull off such a look myself, or else I'd gleefully join you in wearing a dress like this. Can't wait to see more of your finished (gorgeous!) project, dear Isis.

pimpinett: I think so too! I am thinking, though, that I skip the naked back so I can wear foundation garments underneath. I think I need that...
Jessica: I'm not short, but I'm definitely curvy, so we'll see... :) I will rely on pimpinett for superb fitting. ;)
