Burda Style For people who sew
I LOVE Imitation of Life (1959), the clothing in the film was beautiful. There was a dress that Lana Turner wore in the movie and also on the cover. It was a white dress with a turoquise slash across the bust. I wanted to know if anyone has ever tried to make it, would know how to make it, or has even seen the film..lol. Thank you!!!!
I don’t know how to load pictures on here
(I’m a newbie)
