Just wrapped filming “The End” and had the chance to re-invent classic chic with designer Veronica Zhou of Tribal Couture
Some key tips!
Really recognize the special features of the ’40s dress that make it special in the history of fashion.
• flattering to the female figure
• classic in style
• emphasizes the waist, producing an “hourglass” silhouette
The fabrics:
Rayon was quite popular in women’s fashions, as a substitute for silk, which the military was using for parachutes.
Also tweeds, wools, silk, linen, cotton, or blends of these
Take it up a notch:
If you want to add fur to jazz up an outfit, reuse the fur that you find in thrift stores or add fake fur.
And pearls are always brilliant for that added touch of class!
Visit thrift stores or estate sales and rummage- Flaunt your sexy figure ladies!!

XOXO
