That’s Inspiration!
I've loved That's Entertainment! as long as I can remember. It's been playing on heavy rotation at our house lately as I introduce the film to my two-year-old. She's particularly fond of the Esther Williams segment and often requests to see the woman swimming with the music. Anyhow, I've been watching the film lately for a little fashion inspiration — there's something about technicolor to make the dresses really pop.
Of all the gorgeous dresses, the most unlikely of inspirations came from this one "behind the scenes" scene that was only a few seconds on screen. It's my fondness for everyday way that of course makes this one pop out. In honor of this dress, here a few Etsy finds from the 1940s in that spirit.
I always love watching old films (or even documentaries) and catching something that piques my fashion-interest! ;)

Funny enough, I’ve been eyeing the Simplicity 1924. After remembering that fantastic white dress in “Under The Tuscan Sun” I though this would be the perfect pattern to make it in. I might just have to cave. Thank you for the inspiration!
I LOVE how easy #4 would be to make, yet it’s so chic in the stripes.
I really love Simplicity 1924 and would have snatched it up if it wasn’t a 30 bust. And, if I didn’t already have a dozen patterns that were almost identical.
