Description

Sometimes I e-mailed apfelbluete which I met here at BurdaStyle – I am immi – and today we are real virtual sewing-friends. :-)
So many e-mails… little presents to our birthdays were sent by mail (we are from germany but we don’t live around the corner)… we decided to have fun with a shared account here at BurdaStyle:
apfelbluete drafted some vintage-dresses and I was immediatly inspired to try my ‘martha’. Here it is, based on a self made pattern.

My teenager-daughter shot the photos… she gave me a photo-shoot day as a birthday present, so we toured through our city. Some photos were taken in a local furniture-store. She was a bit ashamed
when we met some people she knows and that was why she suddenly hid behind the furnitures. ;)

‘Elegant Impressions’ should be a place where you can see only vintage inspired clothes.

      Ja genau: Das ist der Roland! :-)
      Freut mich dass du das Kleid magst… ich ziehe es aber nicht wirklich an, weil ich mich dick drin fühle. Ich glaub ich mach noch mal eine Stretch-Version!
      Ps.: Dein Avatar ist süß! :-)

    Stunning! somewhat your picture reminds me of the esthetic of a Rainer Fassbinder’s picture (and don’t get me wrong, I am a fan). In fact it comes straight from ‘Martha’ with Margit Carstensen

      Thank you! :-) I don’t know Fassbinder’s Martha but I red at wikipedia that she was not a very healthy person concernig her emotional state. ;-)

      Martha married the wrong man- that’s the sad story.
      But anyway. Fassbinder did better films but I suggest you watch ‘the bitter tears of Petra von Kant’ or ‘Ali-fear eat the soul’, great ones

      Thanks Almantika! :-)
      In my oponion the dress makes me NOT look slim! But I am very proud about the neckline. And my greates problems are always the photos that is why I think about making my next photos on a dressform.

      You are welcome, Immi! And I feel the same way about my photos! I do think the shape of the dress is nice, though, and it’s just the style that makes you feel uncomfortable. I think all of us nowadays are used to better fitting shapes, clothes made of mostly knit materials, etc. That’s why anything not “skintight” makes us feel a little uncomfortable. But I do think the dress looks lovely on you! And the neckline is gorgeous!!!!

    Das Kleid sieht wunderbar aus und die Darstellerin ebenfalls. Werdet ihr dieses Kleid auch als Schnitt ins Netz stellen? Bei diesem Kleid bedaure ich nur, das es nicht die süßen Ärmelaufschläge von der Skizze hat und die schönen Abnäher. So gefällt es mir aber auch sehr gut!!! Ich bin gespannt was ihr sonst noch so designen werdet, Der Anfang ist zumindest schonmal umwerfend ;O) Macht weiter so!

      Ein Dankeschön für die Komplimente! :-)
      Dieses Kleid ist im Prinzip aus dem gleichen Schnitt erstellt wie ‘Nadja’ . Die Abnäher kommen vielleicht nicht so zur Geltung weil die Trägerin Größe 42/44 hat. :)))
      Modelle richtig selbst designen, die Schnitte erstellen, die Schnitte einstellen – das alles macht total viel Arbeit. Wir sind beide in Vollzeitjobs und haben Familie.
      Ja, wir planen noch mehr Schnitte einzustellen. Alle Modelle in zwei Varianten: full and slim.
      Aber es wird dauern… möglicherweise auch mehrere Größen aber ‘Mulitsize’ können wir nicht.

      Naja, schöne neue Schnitte sind ja auch schon mal was. Von Größe 36 auf 38 ist ja nicht so schwer selbs zu vergrößern.
      Für eure neuesten Kreationen nehme ich auch gerne längere Wartezeiten in Kauf ;O)
      Ich habe großen Respeckt vor eurer Arbeit und eurem Projekt!!!

    This dress is really, really cool! I absolutely adore the neckline and the really unusual cut of the dress, it is like a vintage jacket and skirt combined into a one piece. The fabric too really works! Fantastisch! (ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsche!)

      NessyS, Dankeschön! Wirklich stolz bin ich eigentlich auch besonders auf den Kragen. :)
      Actually I am really proud of the neckline and the collar! :)

    Orange houndstooth?! Fabulous! The detailing and construction are beautiful, and that pocket is very cool. What a great collaboration project you two have undertaken :)

    Boaaaah, Wahnsinn !! Gepaspelte Knopflöcher !!! Genau diesen Schnitt liebe ich! Ich bin hin und weg, das kann ich auf englisch gar nicht ausdrücken! Die Tasche an der Seite, die aus der Knopfleiste entspringt ist genial! – und erst dieser Stoff, Hahnentritt in orange hab ich noch nie gesehen.

      Thank you! I made my own pattern. Sometimes we want to share our patterns, but this one is to complicated.

    It’s gorgeous! I love the side pocket, it totally makes this garment unique. Lovely photos! And don’t worry, when I’m getting my photos taken, I run and hide if people are watching haha

    It’s lovely! I love the way the pocket (?) is an elongation of the dart. The houndstooth fabric is also great, and the cut is amazing… I’m inspired!

      I don’t wanted to make a coat dress, that’s why I cut this side pocket. Sorry… my english…
