CH 2011 – “A Day at the Races” Outfit
I only made one new outfit for Camp Hollywood this year, for Friday night. The theme was A Day at the Races but it was also the night of the Balboa contest finals, so I didn’t want to be too “theme-y”. I decided to wear some 30’s daywear but was still undecided as to exactly WHAT – until Kate posted some Summer Inspiration from 1938. The Sunback Dress (4th picture down, #7754) caught my eye and I knew that was the way to go.
I have a similar sundress pattern that I’ve made several times, so I grabbed that and headed to Jo-Ann’s – and actually found some cream rayon herringbone there! Miracles do happen. The striped fabric was hiding in the upholstery section, but it softened up after washing.

And here’s an action shot – the belt kept spinning around all night – I think I need a well-placed snap.
Doesn’t rayon just move the best though? 🙂

And last but not least, here’s a video of the Balboa contest finals. Can’t leave that out, I guess!
