My Vintage Visions Creating historic fashions for living history and just for fun Thursday, October 4, 2012 What to Wear on Satuday? This Saturday is the Vermont Apple Festival in Springfield, Vt. Cori and I will be there with the Springfield Art and Historical Society and a couple of our awesome student interns! We are dressing 1940s again to tie in with Springfield's WWII history. I would loved to have made a new dress for this event but I knew that wasn't going to happen. So now the question is - What should I wear? A.) My new WAVE uniform (even though I don't have the correct shirt and tie)? B.) A classic 1940's suit? C.) A "Rosie" or "Bomber Girl" inspired look with high waist pants and a cardigan or blouse? Library of Congress I do have to keep the weather in mind - Saturday's forecast calls for possible showers with a high of 60, barely. (So long summer!) I will be under a tent most of the day, but still, wet ground means no vintage shoes. :( Sadness. Good thing I have modern heels as a back up. Something with long sleeves might be a good idea too. My newly acquired WAVE uniform from Eba WAVE uniform regulations state that for formal occasions a white shirt and black tie should be worn with this particular uniform, otherwise it's the navy blue shirt and reserve blue tie. I don't have either but I do have a blue shirt and regular black tie that could work for now. I found instructions online for making two different styles of WAVE ties but I won't be able to make one in time for Saturday. Navy blue WAVE uniform shirt, which I need - Ebay I don't have a pictures of my suit but it's pretty similar to the one pictured in the Simplicity pattern below. My suit is wool with a tiny brown and white check pattern and great pocket details. (Yes, I really need to take some pictures.) I think it would look great with some red acsents.

I paired it with a cranberry colored belt and shoes that sorta, kinda matched. I could wear this outfit and again but I figured I should give some of the other options in my closet a try. Cori and I at with the historical society at Market Madness a few weeks ago. Cori's choices are much easier. However his collection of WWII U.S. Navy uniforms is slowly taking over my closet. :) Cori wearing one of his WWII U.S. Navy uniforms vintagevisions27 New England, United States I have always loved vintage and historic fashions. My main focus is the 18th century but I love the classy look of the 1920s, through the 1950s. I enjoy researching, collecting, and creating historic clothing just for fun. Any excuse to get dressed up is fine with me! vintagevisions27@gmail.com
