Help from my vintage clothing peeps?
One of my fabulous technicians is also an amateur photographer. She's got a great camera, and has been slowly building a business - doing wedding and portraits. So, since I've done a few tidbits for her - (fixed a hernia on her calf, etc) she's going to do the girls' fall portraits for me. For this, I would like to make them new outfits. Something fall, feminine, and adorable.
And with the soundtrack to "Gigi" in my car, I remember her little dress from the movie. And how they remind me of the dresses on the little girls in the Madeline books and others. I'd like a soft wool plaid. Sources for nice colors of that would be good, too. Maybe pink/taupe or blue/brown.
So - where might I find pictures/resources for the little French school girl outfits of La Belle Epoch. If I google - I mostly get naughty school-girl porn. *sigh*
Help me lj!!
