Fashion history through DIY culture
I’m delighted to introduce my blog redesign. Bear with me as I tweak seven years’ worth of content.
The new format has a more streamlined navigation, as well as increased space for images and an improved mobile experience.
I’ve also added a tip jar. Your contribution can help me maintain this blog without advertising. Thank you!
Let me know what you think, and stay tuned for updates on the shop and other new features.
Horn/Griner photographed this military-inspired ensemble for an early ’70s issue of Vogue Pattern Book: the shirt, Vogue 8206, in camo voile and the pleated skirt, Vogue 8204, in khaki gabardine. The vest was available as a knitting pattern in the magazine. (Printed voile by Aquarius Fabrics; Rosewood Fabrics double woven polyester gabardine.) The scene captures the late-summer mood.
This Labour Day weekend, from Thursday, August 31st through Monday, September 4th, customers will receive 15% off everything in the PatternVault shop as part of Etsy’s first Labour Day sale. No coupon required—the new system will show the discounted price. And if you’re new to Etsy, you can use the new guest checkout.
Happy Labour Day, everyone. See you in September.
