This skirt...
And this vintage pattern.
It took me ages to track it down, but thanks to Etsy, I am the proud owner of a McCall's hippie/tunic pattern from 1969. Ever wonder what kind of shape a 42 year old pattern is in? About the same shape as a 42 year old woman. A little wrinkled, a little crinkled but plenty of life still left in it. Now I need someone to whip me up some hippie tunics. Preferably someone who is not bothered by a little mold. Anyone?

You're hilarious! I wish I could whip up some tunics but my sewing skills are nil. Love that skirt and that painting. Where is the skirt from? I have no idea about the painting, but it's very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove that tunic, it would perfectly hide my muffin top. That painting is amazing! Loves!
ReplyDeleteThat painting is amazing. I especially love a piece like this in a traditional setting...it creates a nice juxtaposition. And, those patters are fabulous...I'd wear every single one!
ReplyDeleteSissiy- Make a short, belted one! Can you find old 1960's curtains for the fabric? That's authentic! And a bit "Sounds of Music"!

Etsy is the best place to find some amazing vintage patterns. It's where I found a very rare men's pattern.
ReplyDeleteMy friend told me, I am not old...just vintage....lol

So funny. Those tunics at the gold ottoman site on eBay made me think of you. It must be the picture from The Greenbrier etched into my memory.
ReplyDeletelook out Tory there is a new girl in town
ReplyDeleteWow love love that pattern. How fun.
ReplyDeleteTunics are so chic! That skirt reminds me of a classic trench coat:)
ReplyDeletehow fabulous will this be!
ReplyDeletethe skirt, the bow, the stripes. that first outfit is perfection.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! I can't wait to see!
ReplyDeletelove them both. and love your description, I think it applies to 45 year old women as well!
ReplyDeleteI am following your blog as from today. I love this azure backdrop. I have a wonderful tunic that is too good to wear, like a work of art and it is too big for me. Wanna see it?
ReplyDeleteYour ideas are so great, and your taste so amazing..that I will choose to ignore the over 40 crack! (harumph) :)
ReplyDeleteAnd, where can I find a pattern for that Balenciaga clutch!?
Hmmm me not seeing no painting, stupid droid phone! Anyways just want to say I love the whole outfit. I shall incorporate a similar one into my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....1069...I was a junior in high school...and I know I wore those :)
ReplyDeleteOh so funny...look out Tory Burch!
ReplyDeleteDon't leave a sister out! I'll take one please! And I actually do have the curtains from my grandmothers house. When they sold the house I took them... they would make a kick a$$ tunic! too funny....
ReplyDeleteLove that skirt and the entire outfit!!

I love the drawings and tunics! Some things never go out of style - or at least come back. :)
ReplyDeleteWish I lived in the late 60s and 70s. The fashion rocked and oh the prints..awesome
ReplyDeleteThe skirt paired with stripes and a bow? To die for!
ReplyDeleteSOOOO jealous of your pattern! I need to employ someone to make clothes for me...I always know exactly what I want but I can never find it. If only, right? Can't wait to see the finished product of your creations!
ReplyDeleteMy husband told me "You're not getting old, you're just growing up." hahaha genius.
