I’ve highlighted the adorable reproductions made by Etsy seller Jitterbuggin in the past, but I think she’s really hit her stride with these new (since my last post) matching 1940’s jumper and blouse sets in blue and green. I’m linking to the jumpers, as the blouse must be purchased separately, and all are available in multiple sizes.
Everything about the sets is just fantastic, the pocket details on the jumpers, the line of the skirts, the fabric choices for both the jumpers and the blouses (especially the airplanes!), and the contrast collar and sleeve bands on the green blouse. On top of that, Jitterbuggin shows you how to wear it by styling her models to the hilt, with period hair, hosiery, shoes, red lips, hair flowers, and bakelite accessories. Very Groovie Movie!
Off-topic, but can you do a post on shoes for people who love the look of keds, but have wider feet than they sell for? Keds only seems to make wide models for their white leather champion oxfords and nothing else. My toebow and foot in general is wide for new keds, and while I am absolutely adore my current ones, they are getting destroyed by everyday use and dancing. I want new ones that I don’t have to “break in”. (can you even break in canvas shoes?)
Suggestions for other brands and such would be greatly appreciated.
Perhaps? Not having wide feet, I’ll have to keep my eyes open for such a thing, but if I find it, I’ll write about it!
