Yesterday I mentioned that I had acquired two genuine vintage dresses from work. Bright and early this morning I washed them and hung them out to dry as the weather was delightfully warm. My red dress has not gone well today so I am not going to show pictures of it, instead I will show pictures of these dresses. My favourite of the two dresses is the blue one and I think it may fit me, however I do not think the green one will, unless I put on a lot of weight!
The green one is made from a very nasty feeling knit of some kind. It is a princess seam and I really like the neckline.

The second is a beautiful full skirted dress with a muslin skirt lining. It has a particularly delightful shoulder detail and a lovely belt attached. This dress needs lots of work on it though and most of the seams are fraying. I think it may fit me as it is too small for our smallest mannequin.

The observant among you may have noted the second, apron-wearing, mannequin in the background. This apron is a project in progress and is one of the five (!) I have made for Christmas.
Hopefully I will be more in the mood to post about my red dress again tomorrow, so stay tuned!
