Audrey Hepburn: My "Sabrina" {1954} Jumper

Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina {1954}

I've loved this jumper that Audrey Hepburn wears in Sabrina {1954} for about 4 years now. I only watched the movie for the first time recently. About three years ago I bought a navy blue flannel with a small floral print on it for this jumper. It took me until this past Saturday to finally get around to sewing. And I love it!!!

Pattern: Gabrielle & Me drafted the bodice pattern. While I just used Butterick 3134 for the skirt. 

Fabric: Flannel from Joann's for the outer layer. Muslin for the lining.

Keeping it Classy {Modest Fashion Week}

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years. - Audrey Hepburn 

You are invited to join in our Keeping it Classy {Modest Fashion Week} on February 13th - 19th! Yes, it is the week of Valentines. I thought it would be fun to have a fashion week during a holiday. :) I hope many of you will join {and spread the word} in the fun and showcase your fabulous, modest, yet stylish outfits! And if you can't tell, Audrey Hepburn was my inspiration for this fashion week. :)

Feminine Fashion Week {Day 7} | 1960s Inspired

-What I'm Wearing-

Brown Polka-dot Sun Dress - Made by me for my HS Graduation {seen here}

Brown Sweater - Kohl's {Hand-me-down from Gabrielle}

Pink Tights - J.C. Penny {$4.99}

Brown T-Strap Kitten Heels - Naturalizers {Don't remember it was several years ago.}

Pearl Earrings - Gift

I love this dress! The sad thing is, I had a hard time putting on my dress this morning. I'm so worried about tonight. What if I can't get it off?!? I think this means I've grown out of my dress. :( Hopefully this isn't so. As it is my favorite dress ever!! {I think.} As this dress is sleeveless I add the sweater for a more winter look. I think it brings the outfit a more 60s flair. And my hair was fixed into a relaxed {more modern} flip, aka. Mary Tyler Moore. 

Now my dear readers, I'm excited to announce that my 1960s hair tutorial is now up on Vimeo {YouTube has a 10 minute limit and the tutorial is 15 minutes long}.

Today was the first day of work in the new year. It also marks the first time I wore my skirt this winter.{I sewed the skirt last winter.} I tend to wear certain clothes the first half of cold weather {Oct-Dec}, from the second half {which is now, Jan-March or April}.  It helps me from getting tired of my clothes. 

It's hard to believe that today is the third day of Natasha's Feminine Fashion Week. If you want to join in there is still time. :)

Also I'll be filming the 1960s hair tutorial sometime this week, hopefully tomorrow, or next week. :)

Here it is, the second day of Natasha's fashion week. Today my inspiration was this polka-dot jacket and my 1960s hairstyle. Though, to me at least, my hair is screaming for a LBD (Little Black Dress) with a boat neckline (a.k.a Audrey Hepburn). Alas, I don't own one, or have any black fabric in my stash. I do have fabric to recreate the jumper below, that Audrey Hepburn wears in the movie Sabrina {1954}.

Oh, once I master this hairstyle I will do a tutorial for all of you. I just need raise the back more. As it doesn't look very 60s in the front. :) Here's more pictures of my hair.
