Gotta love Halloween season! I had made my neice a little tutu for her to be a kitty, it is adorable! But she wanted nothing to do with it, I mean running away when I tried to fit it to her. I had a little princess dress that I had made for my oldest neice in 05', my other neice fell in love with that dress. It was like 6 inches too long for her, so I took it up leaving the hem so I can let it down over time,took it in so that I can let it out too. I added some extra trim to it to hide where my other neice wore it out and now I am waiting for the glue to dry on the gems that I added to the bodice soo here it is. I will post the finished picture in the Finished thread tomorrow after the Halloween carnival.




Oh I also went Scarlet O'Hara and made her a little cloak out of a pink satin curtain that I had stashed.

That's what the best-dressed sized will be wearing this Spring. It looks great, Lady K!

Can't wait to see you in this!!!  It's beautiful, and you will be the best dressed wizard there! 

[Evie McCann]

Lady K, that looks fabulous!

Merlin, I agree with Rani. You will be the best dressed wizard at Scarby for sure.

Adriana, the dress is adorable. I hope you'll take pictures of your niece for us.

I'm currently working on my first noble ensemble. This is the underskirt and overskirt on "Bonnie".

[Merlin the Elder]

That will be gorgeous, Evie! ... Is that your Les Paul in the background?

[Archer]

awesome work displayed in those pics. 

[Evie McCann]

Merlin, thank you. I hope to wear it to Scarby next spring.

The Les Paul is my husband's. He likes to collect guitars. I decided to date him when i heard him play "Mary had a little lamb" by SRV. That was 15 years ago.

Can't wait to see you in your new garb!

[Evie McCann]

Thank you for the compliment Archer, although I know I'm not the only one you were referring to.

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

Your gown is going to be gorgeous.  The skirt and forepart are beautiful.

Evie, may I please ask you where you found the green fabric?  I had posted in another thread that I am looking for a green noble type fabric to go with the green hat in my avatar.

That fabric is so beautiful.  If you purchased it in a fabric store, I'd like to take my hat to see if the colors are close enough.  If you ordered online, perhaps I can purchase a swatch from them. 

Thanks!   

[Adriana Rose]

I love that fabric! And its good to know that I am not the only one to name my dress dummy

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

Huzzah! Can't wait to see the fininshed product.

[Evie McCann]

Lady Renee, I bought the whole bolt for 35.00 at our WalMart years ago when they were getting rid of the fabric dept. So sad. Now I have to drive 2 hrs to get anything nice or order it.

Adrianna, the fabric is not HA but I just love it. "Bonnie" was one of my favorite teachers in high scool.

Lady K, I can't wait to get it done. Hope it turns out half as nice as your products. Your Victorian is sooooo gorgeous.

Thank you all for your compliments, it gives me a sense of accomplishment. You're all very sweet. 

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

Evie, you got a great deal on that green fabric!  It's really pretty.

I will wait patiently, as one day, when I not looking for anything, the right fabric will just appear -at least I hope so!

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

Thank you, Evie. I am honored that you consider me an inspiration. There are things I am still learning to do.

A wig that I bought on eBay to go with that Victorian ensemble for Halloween and SciFi/Fantasy Conventions when I do my Victorian Steampunk Vampire. I do the pale makeup, eye shadows, etc., to get that "undead look".

Black wig with Burgandy highlights. I did a Google search on Burgandy Wigs(for something completely different) and this came up for one from eBay.

[Evie McCann]

Cool wig Lady K! Can't wait to see pics.
