60s style

Hello everyone! Here’s a photo shoot that I did of the blouse that I was telling you about. There’s this really beautiful, old abandoned church that’s over by my house and it’s a really cool place for doing photo shoots. There’s this old lady who lives right beside it, and she came out right while I was in the middle of the photo shoot. She took one look at me, stared for a second, and then went right back inside her house. Haha I feel bad, I must have scared her off.









^Check out this cute little guy ^_^





I made my blouse using the Built by Wendy 4112 pattern. I made a few adjustments to the sleeves and neck tie. The leather shorts actually used to be pants that I got from Goodwill on the 50% off day.

I also made the sunglasses that I’m wearing. The frames are cut out from the cover of an old hardbound book. I then painted the frames orange and took clear finger nail polish for a protective layer. The lenses are cut out of a two liter pop bottle. They’re a bit flimsy, but still fun to wear :)

I hope that you all have a lovely day!!

  5. Amazing, Esther! Your blouse is stunning, and what a great idea you had by revamping pants into shorts...thus making them more modern!

    I'm astounded that you made those sunglasses! You're seriously a genius, girl ;)

  9. Esther,

    I just wanted to say how amazing all of your creations are. I discovered your masking tape dress the other day and was overwhelmed with how beautiful it was. I have since discovered this blog and all of your other wonderful creations. You are a true inspiration and so talented. Congratulations on your award and I look forward to reading about all your future creations. You will definately go far! By the way, cute blouse and I love your red dress, plus it made me smile when I read you take all your own photos as this is exactly the way I take photos of my designs too! It's fun being your own photographer too isn't it?!
