                             Amantra's White Tulle Gloves:  Vintage Fashion Photos

I'd been on break, with school work and what not, but all the while I've been making these white tulle gloves with black feather trim. I got the inspiration for this project from a 1988 Ebony Magazine, where Micheal Jackson dawns the front cover.

There's an  advertisment for ciggerettes and a black model wearing a pair of white, transparnet gloves possibly made of sheer fabric, nylon or mesh netting . All I have in stock is white tulle, left over from other projects I thought would best substitute the material mentioned above. Then I remembered a pictuee of  Bette Middler I found online last year that presuaded me  to add the feather trim, which I created from sratch. I made the feather trim using  100%  polyester designer white ribbon, double sided tape, balck feathers white thread, and E-6000 all purpse glue.
The inspiration for the photo-shoot is for self-promotion intentions for my online store

You know I love the 1950's Hollywood era, especially  for its glamor photography, high and classic fashion, movies and actresses. This one particular photo of Marilyn Monroe was just the right direction I wanted to take this project in for the picture taking part, and here's what I came up with

 

I will have similar lingerie arm length gloves available for $22 at my store soon!
Thanks for all your support, your the ones I do this for!!!

1950's vintage style pink apron

 12/23/13

Have you ever wanted to dress like a housewife would, well I have. June Cleaver may have not been a favorite feminine inspiration of mines but i sure did admire her fashion sense,  and  poise. I have always had an appreciation for vintage, traditional fashion design, and pop culture that why I couldn't wait to present to you my creation  with haste!  

So I used this photo as a guide of what style apron i wanted to achieve. With good quality fabric purchased recently from the thrift store, me and Big Bertha (my sewing machine) began our journey to 3-D land with just a illustration and a theme ----PINK!

I worked on this project for about 9 days
I love the color pink so that was the main theme for the apron.

this apron is embellished with dark and light pink polyester ribbons, white medium trim. the back neckline is embellished with a medium jewel in the middle.This apron means a lot to me because it shows that my seamstress skills have drastically improved  with practice. Sewing does make me happy and it's where i feel the most comfortable
thanks for sharing my dream!!!!

thanks, stay tuned for clothing from my Delightfully * Delicious * De-lovely Collection
