Earlier this year I started a 1920s capsule wardrobe to cover a 3 week trip to the UK and NYC with a vintage cruise in between! Ideally I'm not only going to take as little as possible, but have a wardrobe that can be part of my every day life as well. I started by making paper dolls of all of my ideas to try out the different ensembles that could be created from a relatively small palette of options- but now we've moved on to the real thing!
Though I've previously made a few key pieces such as the black suit, blue shoes, and even gloves, I had a VERY long list still left to go. So an intensive sewing week was just the ticket! I dragged my mother into assisting on the project and we managed 10 pieces in a very short time. Though I'm still missing some important items such as evening gowns and more shoes, I'm pretty well covered for day wear now.
This is also the point where the color scheme I chose really starts to show up. If you want to see more of the inspirations, colors, or renderings I did, there's a Pinterest board of it all here: / vintage-cruise

Just an info thing - my grandmother was a seamstress (couldn't afford a tailoring apprenticeship) in the UK. She started with making her own capsule wardrobe in that era (she was born 1902 so hit 18 at 1920, working full-time commenced aged 14) her answer to not turning all those tiny tubes was to use a toning curtain cord. Absolutely not haute couture, absolutely authentic to 1920s when there were many ladies that couldn't afford haute couture, but could afford for clothes to be made for them by a local seamstress.

@michellebyrom6551 Жыл бұрын

Pressing over one long edge of the tube fabric, then rolling it into a tube from the opposite side, before whipstitching along the pressed edge saves turning, though it will probably create as much bulk as cord. Depends on how deft your fingers are/ how much patience you have. Cord or ribbon is much easier and quicker.

In my sophomore year of high school my mother commissioned a capsule wardrobe for a trip I took to the International Thespian Conference in 1982 as part of the delegation from my school. There was a pair of shorts, a reversible wrap skirt, a blouse, and a matching blouse with split skirt set made to my measurements in fabrics I chose. I was physically comfortable no matter where I was because everything FIT. None of it was peak fashion, though, and most pieces were impossible to alter as I filled out, so it all disappeared by the time I graduated.

What a special idea! I love that. I have seen contemporary business startups offering “capsule wardrobes” sets, but it would be a very unique offering to explore for people who are already sewing clothing commissions professionally, or for experienced hobby sewists to do as gifts for their family or friends on big occasions.

I do my own alterations, but I greatly miss the expert advice from my Mom, who died a few months ago. I love that you and your Mom sew together, we loved that, too, and she taught me all the sewing skills that I have, she even repaired my sewing machines when the Singer shop couldn’t, she was a real pro. If my skills are not great, it’s only because I didn’t seek to learn as much from her as I could have. But mostly, I just miss her company, love and support and the great fun we always had together. We even went out for shopping and lunch just a few weeks before she died. I’m trying to recover, but it’s hard, I’m 62, but still her little girl, forever.

I'm so sorry for your loss! My 90 year old mother is in the hospital right now and we were told to say our goodbyes several days ago. She seems to be rallying now. Like you, I learned to sew at my mom's knee...pretty literally, standing next to her while she used her sewing machine! Some great memories!

I'm so sorry. Losing your mum is very hard at any age. (I turned 30 the week I lost my mum) . I found lighting a candle and talking to her helped ease the pain. Now every time I sew I feel closer to her. My heart goes out to you. This is a hard time. Be kind to yourself.

Speaking as someone who has never been a "dresses" or "skirts" person, I was really struck with the simple (for Nicole!) black silk dress - it has the same feel for me as the adapted man's suit trousers, a non-binary aesthetic that I could actually see myself wearing. I don't know what you've done to me Nicole, I think it must be witchcraft!!! Also, hello Nicole's Mum, thank you for helping our girl not tear out her hair with all that pleating!!

But what I appreciate most is you being so transparent about changing your plans, asking for help, and how organized yu have to stay to achieve all this. It really underscores that you are a real person, that you are so skilled because of all of your practice and hard work, and even with that you still operate within limitations. Your channel is the perfect balance, for me, of inspiration without condescention while still maintaining a calm and polished aesthetic. All that to say, I love this journey, and thank you for sharing it.

This is definitely an ambitious project with a very fixed deadline. A period transalantic cruise sounds like a lot of fun, and since it is themed in the 1920s instead of 1910s you don't have to worry about it becoming a titanic recreation.

That is the biggest benefit of creating your own wardrobe, even if you have to pay someone else to make the items. You choose the fabrics, colours, patterns that you like. Apply them to the styles that suit you and make them to fit your body without pulling or gaping. Cost of materials can be the same, or more, than buying equivalent ready made. The extra time/effort/money gives you a bespoke wardrobe that looks good for years, feels very comfortable and is totally flattering. The commercial price tag for that is found on Saville Row with its made to measure suits. So you can get really nice fabrics and make a whole wardrobe for the cost of one good suit. A true bargain.

The 1920s silhouettes look really good on Nichole. It’s good to see a non-gamine body type wearing 1920s pieces so well. We often think of a petite and straight body in regards to this period, but that is a very small minority of figures.

❤️ the cranberry suit. And the blue is beeeaaautiful! Such nice blouses. ACCESSORIES ■Jewelry-- hit the bead shop. Glass beads in 3 colors, notions--make opera length necklace; cuff bracelet (or 2) with 3 separate strands; 2 different pairs of earrings, with a replacement for each. That takes care of evening jewelry. Can also make hatpins if you need to. Day jewelry, again mix'n'match colors; or neutral. Can do a LOT in 1 night. Dog collar; Egyptian collar; is a lot more work. But so pretty. Definitely need brooches for pretty and pinning scarf/hat band/etc. If it comes down to the wire...... Handbags--if it is right shape:: what about covering with fabric? Spray glue, iron on adhesive? Fabric spray paint on texture? Will kill patent-leather look, match your shoes, etc. Then clear coat and it will last thru cruise. Cannibalise old purse or new junk purse. Evening bags are simple, just fancy fabric pouch with bling.

Wow, you got a lot done, but it seems there’s a lot more to do. It will be a great-looking vintage wardrobe! I love and miss those beautiful, vintage braids, they were still for sale in the 60s, but now they can only be found at vintage shops, and they’re mostly off-cuts, maybe just enough to trim a collar or hat. I also am always looking for silk brocades of the right scale and silk velvets or cotton velveteens without synthetic fibers. (Silk brocades for interiors can be purchased through desIgners, but the scale is almost always wrong for clothing, then the quantity doesn’t come up to the minimum order, and the designer’s fee adds to the cost, too). In the 70s, as a teenager, I had a super-trendy black velveteen blazer that was 100% cotton, that’s the last time I ever saw a new garment made of that great fabric. In the 80s, when I began my career, all suits were made of 100% wool gabardine, lined with rayon, and had skirts, not trousers, which was great. Blouses and shirts were usually silk, polyester wasn’t everywhere yet. Even had I kept these clothes, I couldn’t fit them now. The quality of clothing has just plummeted over the last four decades. I rely on Lily Silk a lot, but the skirt/trouser/dress selection is poor, it’s mostly tops. I miss quality fabrics and trims!

I know you’re going to be very busy for the rest of the year, but I was watching another interest of mine (articulated dolls) and a maker showed their process for shoemaking. It wasn’t the same level of effort by far, and I’m sure it’s very different, but a lot of the processes seemed similar and I thought making a small pair of doll-sized lasts/shoes would be interesting for you while also not incredibly taxing or expensive. I don’t know if your other subscribers would enjoy it, but I suspect that even if they aren’t fans of dolls, the novelty and crossover with fashion doll history would still garner you some watchers.

My mother and I have swapped work on occasion - I knit up a kit she got for Christmas and wasn't thrilled by, since I knit much faster (minus blocking and trim), and she darned some socks for me since I don't know how and she actually enjoys it. But it's a bit different if your mother is helping you with something you do for a living.

Beautiful capsule, appropriate to the period, Nicole! your colors and fabrics are lovely and suit your hair and complexion perfectly. Kudos to you and your mother for the exquisite pattern-making and stitching. Can't wait to see photos from your transatlantic trip!

Sounds like a good moment to reach out and ask your friends if they would want to try their hands at making some 1920s accessories.
