So simple and so chic OK, it helps when you look like Lauren Bacall, but... What women isn't flattered by a classic striped blouse? |
The checked suit Bacall wore when we first met her in this classic film, provides obvious inspiration for vintage sewing enthusiasts. Who doesn't admire that bias cut skirt swaying so alluringly against the roll of the starlet's hips, and the wonderful shaping and buttons on the jacket? We all want an outfit like that! But would it do much good for the job we'd imagine ourselves doing in a muggy hotel basement in wartime Martinique?
It's this blouse that I first spotted on Bacall in a scene with Hoagy Carmichael, that really takes me time traveling back to that hotel, and make me itch to recreate her vintage garment. Like the jeans and Oxford shirt that Humphrey Bogart wears in the movie, this chic, striped blouse is a classic any lady would still be glad to create and own. Wouldn't it look great on any woman?
Full-On View of Lauren Bacall in the Striped Outfit It could be a blouse and skirt Or a shirtwaist dress But when I time travel back to Martinique, I'm making my version up as a shirt tucked into jeans |
