Welcome to my sewing blog! I've been sewing since 2007. I really enjoy making costumes. (Too bad Halloween is only once a year!) I'll sew just about anything really, and you can see my designs modeled exclusively on me.
And they look as bit nicer after cleaning since everyone and their mother decided to step on me at The Big Band Dance. This is the not vintage vintage dress from eBay that I posted a couple back. I received many a compliment on this one too.Back button detail:
Finished the bustle dress! You can find the close up fabric and the pattern a few posts back. I love this dress so much! Especially the big obnoxious "bustle" bow in the back! I got a lot of compliments today on both the shoes and the dress!
So I was walking to my house in one of my vintage dress and as I walked by my neighbor's one of the 2134634097 kids they have yells through the screen "Hi Grandma!"
On the flip side someone I work with said today "You don't have a dress on today. It's weird." I didn't have a dress on because of my injured ankle. It hurts like hell.
Here's today's dress: After work I managed to fall and hurt my ankle but would you believe NOT in these shoes...in my freaking driving sandals! It hurts still.
In other news I made out like a bandit today on the bay. $15.49 for the actual 1920s dress. I'll probably have to replace the red. The $30 repro dress (the seller said 70s or 80s) I just HAD to have. (You'll understand when you get to the pic.) Usually 80s 1920s repros are HIDEOUS but I fell in love with this one.
