Not only was I able to wear my new 1930's Jantzen wool bathing suit but my vintage loving friend Miss De was able to put on her beautiful 1950's number and join us!
In case you are curious, yes the suit was itchy.
first beach trip of the season
So I have been working myself like a sweat shop for the past two weeks creating some suit dresses from the 60's to wear to my new job and today we decided to enjoy the holiday weekend and the hot weather by heading up to Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester, MA (no pregnancy pacts were made.)

All grown up
So, I had my interview and was offered the job. I took the weekend to think it over and on Monday accepted the position. I am excited an nervous to start something new but I have a new wardrobe to look forward to creating. The position is corporate so no more swing dresses to the office for me, it's all suits in appropriate shades of bland. Luckily I have a large collection of 1960's women's suit patterns just jumping off my shelf waiting to be used. My first addition is from Advance #6802 and I spent yesterday altering the pattern as it is a size too large. Here is the muslin mockup. Today I start on the black wool suiting fabric then run off to Vidal Sassoon to offer my time as a hair model. Crossing my fingers on this one!
An Interview My Way
Unfortunately, or fortunately for me I was laid of of my job of four and a half years. Save your tears, it's better to get a life boat than to go down with the Titanic. Well, after one day of resume submissions I get a call in response to one and an interview is set up for Thursday the 10th. After spending half a second at Marshall's looking for an office appropriate suit I gave up and instead spent $35 on a few yards of wool suiting and pulled out one of my patterns from the 60's.
After two days of frantic sewing and creating my very first blazer I can only hope this will be my good luck charm to new employment.

M.I.A
So many apologies for the lack of posts, I am currently sorting out some personal and professional issues but I have a post pending about the opening party for the new Cafe Society in Jamaica Plain, Boston. What a hoot!
I also have a new video in the works demonstrating a 1920's "easy" up-do. So stay patient and return again for some new vintage goodies!
