Washing my Vintage Betty Draper Dress

May 9, 2022May 9, 2022Leave a comment

A lots happened in life since I posted about my adventures hunting down the vintage unicorn known as The Betty Draper Dress in 2019. This highly sought after dress was first featured in the 1959 Montgomery Ward catalog and then came to fame on season 1, episode 2 of Mad Men. Worn by the character Betty … Continue reading Washing my Vintage Betty Draper Dress

How to Shop for Vintage Swimwear

January 14, 2022January 14, 20221 Comment

With the current summer weather (for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere), swimsuit season is well and truly here. It's understandable that vintage-inspired may not be as appealing for some who want a true vintage swimsuit but they can be pretty difficult to shop, especially online. After shopping for vintage swimsuits for many years, … Continue reading How to Shop for Vintage Swimwear

Dita Recommends: Nuxe Oil

August 30, 2021January 6, 2022Leave a comment

If you've been following me for a while, you might know by now that I have very dry skin which means I'm constantly looking at lotions, body oils and moisturisers to help calm and soothe my skin. I was towards the end of another bottle of baby oil when I thought I'd look to see … Continue reading Dita Recommends: Nuxe Oil

Day dreaming of fields of gold 💛 can't wait to come back here, hopefully sometime this year but who knows!
It might be time for me to start knitting again, it's been a while but it's the perfect lap craft for couch and movie days. I've got a few vintage patterns I'd love to try but I'm a little nervous of starting. Do you over think projects or just get on with it? I'm a chronic overthinker haha!
Im looking forward to a quiet and rainy weekend of rest, recovery and the joy of hot tea with cinnamon. What is your favourite way to warm up in winter? It's so cold at the moment here 🥶
Do you enjoy winter holidays or summer holidays? I suppose summer is a bit easier but there's something delightfully cosy about winter adventures. What would be your ideal winter holiday?
Big boots bows make me happy. I'm trying really hard to get back to some sort of normal work routine but I've honestly been struggling. I'm not sure when I'll be well enough to film and edit and get back into the swing of things but I'm trying my best each day.
Sundays are an odd day, they have this laziness to them that's something to be savored but by the evening I'm stressed about the week to cone. Anyone else feel like this? I personally think we should add another day to the weekend so I can get all my housework done.
It's looking like a quiet weekend of recovery for me, what are your plans? What would be your perfect weekend?
Sad story about this dress: I made it using #butterick6284 during lockdown and absolutely loved it. After a few wears I took it to the laundry and somehow it fell behind the laundry basket where it wasn't visible. After a good while I found it but noticed it had some odd sun bleaching right on the front of the bodice. Now I wear it around the house but I'm tempted to remake it from the same fabric. Should I make another copy? Or should I just accept it as a house dress?
I'm in recovery mode and it's driving me crazy. I wanted to work today but just couldn't due to pain. I miss my normal routine, blogging and sewing. I don't think I'll be able to film this week but I'll try my best for a video next week.
I can't believe it's already wednesday! The week is just whizzing by and there's still so much to do. I'd much rather be lounging in pretty dresses. What would you rather be doing right now?
