Tennis anyone?

The Australian Open is in it's second week and Melbourne is awash with Tennis inspired ensembles especially at Fed Square where devoted fans have been reclining till the wee hours transfixed by the big screen action.

 

My tennis inspired offering is the FLAPPER SHORT made up in a jacquard fabric; pale beige combined with shinny silver.  You'll need a stretch fabric for the waist and I went for a contrasting apricot twill in cotton elastane.

   

The pattern for the FLAPPER SHORT is available in Australian sizes 6-14 from my Etsy shop. It's shown above with the POCKET TOP which I really do promise is coming soon.

Flapper [flapper] young unconventional woman of 1920's

A young woman in the 1920s who had short hair, wore short dresses, and had a lot of fun at parties.

Well maybe not a dress but you could still have a lot of fun at parties.  The pattern for the FLAPPER SHORT is now available from our Etsy shop. 

We made our sample in an embroidered Japanese cotton/viscose fabric found at Tessuti in Melbourne; the contrast waistband is in a textured stretch twill.  The FLAPPER SHORT is worn here with the PRETTY BLOUSE, pattern available soon.
