Title: Labor Day / Day of Wrong
Post by: LadyAnn on August 27, 2009, 03:40:06 PM
Can you believe how fast this day is coming upon us?  :o

I know there is some information out there already, but I blinking can't find it. So, I thought it should have it own thread here at the MIRF section.

The theme for that weekend is Buccaneer Beer fest. What is everyone wearing for the Day of Wrong?  ;D

So many choice I can't make up my mind!  ::)

I think our kids would kill to get new Steampunk outfits done for Labor Day.

I, sadly, do not have the costumeing skills or know how for steam punk, so it's my wifes garb for me as usual.

~sigh~  Some day I will make it there for the Day of Wrong.

I want to make a totally 'correctly' designed and constructed gown out of Hello Kitty fabric.   ;D

Get sewing Margaret, we all want to see that.  Heck, make it in my size and I'd wear it.  Talk about laughs!

Would love to do steampunk but not enough time to do it right, need a couple of more weeks.

It would not be day of wrong without you in drag dear Sealclubber  ;). I had Jane Austen show up last year, I think someone resembling Scarlett O'hara will be visiting MIRF's day of wrong this year...

I will be in... the same costume as every day.

Sigh. The travails of a cast member.

I'm sure you could put together an awesome outfit from what you have at home.  That is what I intend to do, for the budget is very tight this year!

This will be my first year attempting anything for "DOW" so with little time left and no desire to sew a last minute costume... I'm thinking of combining all the themes of the weekends together so the costume has elements of everything.  A kilt(school uniform skirt) for Highlander fling, a coin belt for wonders of the world, the ever popular stripe thigh-hi's for pirate's high seas adventure, a cavalier hat for buccaneer beer fest (yeah i know buccaneer-cavalier two different animals), wild days amazing knights i have know clue.

thoughts/suggestions appreciated

*giggles*  That sound like fun.  Would you happen to have something knightly? Don't forget about sweet endings.  That one should be easy just strap a box of chocolate to you rear end *giggle*

Something knightly? That's where I draw a blank when I think knight I think shining armor.  If only I had a corset with a templar cross on it.  Other than that I wouldn't know something knightly if it pulled out it's sword and struck me with it.

I've spent far too much time on the computer today rather than sewing! Here's a preview of what I'll be wearing this weekend. :D

And I'll lay even bets that you're going to look AT LEAST that cute, too.  :)

I'll be looking out for your creations!

I certainly hope you're all planning on posting pics of all this wonderful fun!!!  Wish I could get up there for the SteamPunk invasion, but I'm sure my Steam will still be building at that point, and it's a bit of a hike for me, anyway...  Maybe next year!!! 

I know you'll all have a wonderful time, though... so don't forget the pics!!!  :D

You are going to look sooo cute!

I have found a bunch of things to use, but I'm having a difficult time with putting them into something that looks decent.  ::)  Creativity block I guess!
