I couldn't resist another go at today's Inspiration Challenge! It's one of those days. Hope all ya'll are finding time to play dress up in the IC. I was
very inspired by the Pink Fashion Luncheon Sheath Dress. It's been too long since I've used the B Line Designs beautiful woman...so Southern in her fashion. I used an old houndstooth pattern from a Making Memories 'Sabrina' pad. Cut a second sleeve to add dimension. Paper pieced her hat and gloves in PTI cream and colored it a bit with Copics.
Repeated her hat and face in the mirror. Added a bit of micro bead mix on the flower, ribbon, and buttons on her hat.
'she took a deep breath put on her favourite lipstick and smiled.' I appreciate your comments.

Oh, I love this, Susan. You dressed your Southern lady beautifully. I love houndstooth. That mirror is awesome. And, you even had vintage ribbon. You have so much beauty here, even a lovely hat. You are on a roll today with this vintage site. So cool!
