1930s

Olivia

Olivia is a composite of several source materials. The tunic blouse bodice came from a vintage pattern from 1934. This bodice has double tucks that shape the bustline and are stitched into a peplum that begins in a point under the bust and finishes at the hem. The sash and cowl scarf came from this same pattern. This blouse is stitched in creme cotton satin and buttons up the back. The long sleeves with gauntlet cuffs featuring pearl seed buttons were inspired by a fashion plate from around the same period. The collar, cuffs, sash as well as the buttons at the back are made in contrasting blue satin. The bungalow slacks are a tribute to the wide legged beach pajama pants seen in illustrations from the mid-1930s. These slacks are stitch in blue, tan and green striped cotton twill imported from Italy. They have two inch waistband and zip up the center back.

Shown with matching cowl scarf.
