Edwardian Belt
‘Belts […] are made in girdle from, pointed in the front and as deep as the figure will permit’. (San Francisco Call, 1903)
I made the Edwardian dip waist belt for my Edwardian lingerie dress which I’m currently sewing. The dress will be a white muslin and Valenciennes lace dress worn over a mint green camisole and petticoat. Last year I started making the muslin and lace blouse – the bodice of the dress: however, some lace inserts and the sleeve ruffles are still missing. My Edwardian belt will later be worn over the white muslin and lace dress. Continue reading Edwardian Belt

How To Sew A Vintage Powder Puff
Edwardian ladies and 1920s flappers applied face powder with a powder puff. ‘Take up but a small quantity of powder on the puff, and pass lightly over the face.’ (Household Companion: Book Of Etiquette, 1909)

The powder puff was part of fashionable dressing table sets. The dressing-table ‘must be supplied with all needful accessories–brushes and combs, perfumes, creams and lotions, powder-boxes, powder-puffs, manicure set, etc.’ (Household Companion: Book Of Etiquette, 1909)

A powder puff is a quick and easy sewing project even for a sewing beginner. You don’t even need a sewing machine! This vintage powder puff is inspired by antique powder puffs from the Edwardian era and the 1920s. Continue reading How To Sew A Vintage Powder Puff
