Next iron fabrics onto fusible interfacing such as Vilene.  Or use double sided adhesive film instead.  Both allow the fabric to be cut without fraying or marking the fabric with glue.  Arrange pieces of shaped fabric on the black card silhouette and glue into place. Neaten untidy edges with trims.  Stick the fabric silhouette to a card background.  Finally an oval mount of a darker tone can be put over the collage and an edge trimming or braid applied to the join.   Links to some black costume silhouettes are given on this page left and further below.   Sewing Velvets - Tips Visit Bonnie Holden's Paper Dolls for Original Victorian Paper Dolls ‡ If you like this page then please share it with your friends   For more images on 1930s go to:- Costume Drawings 1930-1932 Costume Drawings 1933-1935 Costume Drawings 1936-1937 Costume Drawings 1938-1939 1930's Black Costume Silhouettes 1930s Outline Costume Silhouettes   Stylish Thirties 1930s Old Photos & 30's Weddings Life Between the Wars 1920-1940 Magazine Images 1930 April 1 Magazine Images 1930 April 2 Magazine Images 1930 April 3 Magazine Images Oct 1930  4 Good Housekeeping Images 1932-35 ˚   Click thumbnails   Fashion Dolls Online Library 14 - Costume Doll Books Laver's Law Drawing Fashion Costume Collage Silhouettes Fashion Eras 1800-2000 Jubilee Colouring In Pictures of the Coronation Dress.
