1920 Fashion...

I am currently in rehearsals for the musical Chicago...not only is this show amazing but the style of the show, which is set in the 1920s, is something that I think is so hot!! I love the detailed beading and fringe dresses...the hanging, draping dresses that still offer a lovely feminine look.

Enjoy this collection of great 20s style (all available now on Etsy)...

Sewing Machine Madness

Did you know that on this day in 1842, John J. Greenough patented the sewing machine???

While recently in Chicago I was staying on the Magnificent Mile so needless to say I walked up and down that street more than once!!  There was one store that I kept walking by and had to stop just look at their storefront every time... that store was Allsaints Spitalfields. The thousands of sewing machines in the storefront are fabulous!! And let's talk about the fashion.....faint....
