I thought I’d write a post for people like me who want the clothes but whose budget is restricted. Just lately, I’ve had some great finds in the many op shops we are lucky to have here. I have made an outfit of a tea dress, clutch bag and a summer hat for a mere $16. This outfit is suitable for daywear and especially the Gatsby Picnic.
This post is just my opinion so do also look at the books in the library or google for inspiration. You may also like to visit Charleston Chic (Masonic Building on Tennyson Street) and Decorum (Herschell Street, across the road from the library. Both shops have layby.
Do not be put off by 1930s fashion images, not many of us could look like this. Waists are normally around the middle of the body, not one third of the way down as in the images. Women were shorter than now too. I find the 1930s look easier to assemble and is far more flattering to most than the dropped waist 1920s look. You may even find that you have a lot of things in your wardrobe and drawers already. Start with a dress. Most colours were fashionable except black or pink. The hemline should be closer to your ankles than your knees. Necklines were round, square and v, with and without collars. Only evening dresses were sleeveless. Belts were usually worn.
My next post will be about accessories.

Only 86,000 km's. Only done a couple of thousand since a service.
The usual mod cons and has two electric doors.
No issues and goes really well.
I'm advertising it on here until the end of the long weekend for a quick sale and then its going to Turners Auctions if it doesn't sell.
I also sell shrubs and plants and I'm offering $100 worth of plants to whoever buys it. (see my other listings.)
Get in touch if you are interested. I'm around Hawkes Bay all the long weekend.
Cheers,

Shifts range from 1.5-2.5 hours with the longer shifts being in the morning. Your job will be to smile, greet guests, collect tickets and if anyone doesnt have tickets to point them to the ticket booth.
You will need to be able to stand for your entire shift (so unfortunately no chairs). Anyone under 18 is welcome but you will need a parent or guardian to be there with you during your shift.
There is a little incentive for helping us out :) ...If you are interested please get intouch ASAP either via email amber.mcarthur@redcross.org.nz or call 027 236 0559.
Guy Fawkes is coming up on November 5, with fireworks going on sale next weekend.
