I'm reveling in my latest doll, an Impldoll Alma on the (new, curvy) Star body.
This sarong dress needs a hat, at least.
A friend gave me a bag of silk remnants she bought 20 years ago from a high-end tie manufacturer. I used most of the palm tree printed scraps for this project.
The dress zips in the back, and is lined in off white polyester.

I plan to add a skirt and shirt, and a tote (polkadots!) to this, for a full-on 1950s women's leisure outfit.
This is blue wool twill and lined in white poly (even the backs of the straps). The hat is the same wool, but with Pima cotton for the underside and crown band of the hat.
I finally got around to making front angled pockets on these shorts. Not bad! The white lining peeked out despite understitching, so I declared it a feature and trimmed the outfit in white.
