Mad style
I know I’m not alone in my Mad Men addiction. I downloaded Season 1 and Season 2 on iTunes a few weeks ago and watched it while packing up my apartment. The storyline is great, the styling is impeccable. One outfit in particular caught my eye:
In the Season 2 episode “Jet Set,” actress Laura Ramsey (who plays Joy) sits at a poolside table wearing a pink dress with a twisty neckline.
The reason I keyed in on this particular dress is because it’s very similar to a tunic I sewed a few months ago using a Cynthia Rowley for Simplicity pattern. Here’s my version:
This was a coincidence, by the way. I hadn’t started watching Mad Men when I sewed this. The pattern is already popular among DIY-ers, as a quick Flickr search shows.
I hope to resume regular posting soon. Please bear with me as I continue preparing for my move back to Hawaii!
