I just needed a little inspiration and sought them in some of my favorite fashion years. I thought I'd share them with you in hopes that you find a little inspiration too.
I found these illustrations on the NYPL Digital Gallery site. It is a terrific resource.
I love these color illustrations as they offer wonderful insights into the color combinations and prints of the times.

c. 1914 Ladies' Evening Gowns and Coats -->
<-- c. 1915 I love the different styles of draping and check out those hats.
c. 1915 Lovely outfits with parasols -->
<-- c. 1917 Cold weather is no reason not to look lovely
The draping, the colors, the details ... ahhhhhh ... I need to improve my sewing skills ...quick!

Happy Sewing!
