I'm thinking you need a new pic for your avatar soon, Lady S, since you've been undergoing such a transformation in the last few months!  The one you have now hardly even resembles you anymore!  Oh, and there is a secret to the avatar pic, also.  Crop it into a perfect square before you put it on photobucket (or wherever you have it) and it won't get pulled out of shape when you post it...  ;)

Please ignore the horribly filthy mirror, but this is the dress I made today for one of my costumes in Dames at Sea.

Rani Zemirah

Ummm... the dress you made... today?!?  :o  Just whipped it together, didja?  ::)  :D

It's lovely, and I adore the draping and the ruffle.  Very nice!

Yeah, I had an productively unproductive day. I cut out the pieces before I went to sleep last night, and then since I was off today, I slept in till noon, and went back and forth between my computer and the dress until about 1am. (I take breaks whenever I realize there's something I have to redo.) I never left the house, and only left my room (where I sew) to eat.

There's some things I wish I could have done better - my serger refused to let me rethread it last night, so nothing in it is serged, and I also forgot to throw the fabric in the washer before I cut it out, so A) it would up rubbing red dye on my sewing machine and my camisole when I tried it on, and B) it's going to be a hand-wash only dress. But I'm okay with that.  

It's an old Simplicity retro pattern 9969. I got it and a bunch of other old donated patterns from the costume shop I used to work for. http://betsyvintage.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=84&products_id=10100

That is REALLY cute, Lady Rebecca! I think I need to find this pattern and make one for myself for general use. @_@

My granddaughter's new Arched Tall Hat in an Adult Small.


Wearing her hat. She loved it. Next week, she will be wearing the new Cavalier  styled ensemble I made for her. I will post photos.

I'm having trouble posting photos here.  Check your messages.

I can't get the html code to show!  I made all the garb in this photo, and most of the other photos in this set (with the exception of the one that has Gauwyn and MG in it.)

If anyone can get them to post, please feel free!

LadySeasan

Oki doke!  Here is a picture of my in my finished gown, with my accessories :)  I do have to make a minor adjustment to the hemming as the gown was just a bit too long, and annoyed me. But other than that, it was a success! I received many compliments, was stopped to take pictures, and just had a good time :)



and here is my husband and myself-my husband is wearing the garb that I made him. Doublet, shirt, and pants :)

Oh, Lady S, those are wonderful photos, and I particularly like the one of you and your husband... it's so sweet!  :)  The new avatar is much more up to date now, as well!  Remember, if you crop it to a square before you post it here then it won't stretch out of shape.  I can do it for you if you like...

Butch, I'm very impressed with your work!  Everyone looks fabulous!!!
