To all who mourn in Israel, He will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory. Isaiah 61:3

Wearing History 1910s Jacket Photo Shoot! Finally!!!

Whoot Whoot!  It snowed today!!  Lots!!  It's all melted now, but it stayed around long enough for my fabulous Mama to take some photos of me at the Boise Train Depot!  I had wanted to wait until it snowed for the photo shoot of my 1916 red wool outfit (made using Wearing History's 1910s Jacket pattern) as I thought it would be the perfect backdrop and contrast for the red and black and ivory.  We were already going to The Bishop's House for one of their Victorian Parlours, so we just left early and stopped at the depot on the way!  I'm so happy we did!!


I can't express just how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pattern for this jacket!  AND the jacket itself!  It is so beyond fabulous, and in this case warm!  And fun to wear!  This year's fashion is so very fun!  Not over the top, crazy fluffy, but still girly!


I really like the pleated collar on this jacket.





 

The snow was PERFECT snowball making texture!!  OHMYGOSH!  I wish my boys had been here...I would have dominated a snowball fight!!!


Rock and Fire!!!

You can see my fun black and ivory stripe petticoat in this picture!  It is such a fun petti!


Hahahaha!!  It's hard to pose in a snowball throwing pose, so I slow-mo threw it at Mom...it landed right under her skirt!  hahahahahaa!!!



I love everything about this jacket.  I am so needing to make about 10 more!
 


Lamp Post picture!!


I had to take some pictures of Mom.  She didn't want any taken, but I got my way!  The blue of her dress contrasted perfectly with the snow!



My beautiful Mama in her brand new tiara!  Isn't it awesome!!


Now to The Bishop's House!  We had a really lovely time!


My Mama and me!  How I love this grand lady!!!

I hope you all have a marvelous rest of you week!

Be Blessed my friends!

    OH-KAY! I seriously wish I could meet you and play dress up in your closet. :) This is my second favorite outfit you've done, although the red and white sailor suit is by far #1. I LOVE the jacket and all its details, and how it is such a crisp, classy outfit in every way, historical but easily wearable today. These photos are beautiful...glad you waited for the snow. And I agree, your mama is one grand lady. LOVE her dress color!!!

      Thank you so much for your wonderful compliments Sarah! That would be fun to play dress up! I think you have a thing for red? This was a super fun outfit to both make and wear! I will probably wear the jacket for "nowen days" as it does have a very fun look to it! Thank you for thinking that about my Mom! She is so super fantastic!!

    Absolutely beautiful pictures! I love everything about the whole ensemble. The colors are marvelous and you look perfect. Your mom is stunning as well. What a delightful outing it looks you had! I have never been as enthralled with the 1910's fashions as other eras, but man, you make them look good.

      Thank you Cynthia! My hat is an antique that I found on eBay years ago. I had to cut the crown down to make it look more 1916s as it was actually an Edwardian hat. It is a fur one. I added the feathers and the antique buckle for fun!

    Another smashing outfit! Hehehehe, love the snowball pictures. Where does the waistband of the coat sit? It looks like it's a little higher then the natural waist. I think this coat would be fun to make as an everyday coat!

      Thank you Emily! The snow was just so perfect for snowballs! The waist band does sit above the natural waist...on the way down from the under the bust of the earlier teens!! I do plan on wearing it for "nowen days"! It should be fun!

    I'M DYING!!!! This outfit is SO SO BEAUTIFUL!!! That jacket is perfection, that skirt is perfection, that petticoat is....okay. Everything is seriously perfect. Love it. TONS. :) And hurrah for actually getting snow!!!
    I agree with Sarah A; we definitely need to play dress-up together.

      No! Please! No dying!! Thank you so much Esther! The petticoat is...okay? hahahaha! You are so fun! The snow was such a lovely surprise. I was just going to wear the dress and hopefully have good photos, so the snow was a super plus! Yes, we do need to plan a dress-up "play date" don't we! Mom and I do very much have a ball. We have been doing this for over 12 years, and she is a hoot!

      Heehee!!! That comment came out so totally wrong!! The petticoat is NOT okay! It is scrumptious!! Rather than listing every element of your outfit, I meant to say that it was all perfect, but....yeah. That isn't exactly the way it came out sounding. Goodness me! :) You must have really wondered!!

    How incredibly lovely. There is a powerful sense of elegance to this striking ensemble, which, I should mention, looks flat out sublime on you. The snow only stands to highlight how fantastic this Edwardian look is on you, sweet lady, as it makes the vivid colours pop all the more. Truly swoon worthy outfit!

    I think this would actually make a great 50's coat ~ it has the right silhouette and some fabulous details; very turn of the New Look couture! I'm inspired ~ maybe one day I'll tackle that pattern myself! And your mom looks amazing in her ensemble, that shade of sapphire blue really brings out the lovely color of her eyes. :) *✬ ❤ ✬*
