1930’s Ladies Suit

As part of our WW1 drama-documentary, William’s Story’, we have followed the story of the Crowder family into the post war years. This necessitated making a 1930’s suit for Grace Crowder and filming her at the home she moved to from Lincolnshire: Sutton Poyntz in Dorset.

Grace’s blouse is made from a vintage Simplicty Pattern 1465 and in a vintage silk crepe de chine from my stash.
