1920s beaded dress...

The 20s is and always will be my favorite decade. Where else do you see a decade so radically different from anything before or after it? Therefore, it is currently my favorite shopping and sewing obsession.

So I recently bought this dress from eBay:



After I squeezed it on myself, I couldn't feel my arms. The underarms had been patched (not a super job) so I took the sleeves off. I have never made anything into sleeveless before mind you but I managed it and well, I think it looks pretty okay.


Pay no attention to that weird shadow on the left.
