Here are some sketches done at the end of October, for your viewing pleasure. I will apologize for my long absence, but I have been sewing my fingers down to the bone, quite literally. In the next couple of weeks I will be posting updates of my progress on 17 costumes for the Philadelphia Skating Club and Humane Society's competition production of Where the Wild Things are.

Enjoy!

a new acquisition!

DateThursday, June 26, 2008 at 06:24PM

I finally have a dress form! It's a bit rickety, and it's second-hand, but I'm all about that. It's JUST what I need!

See that dress? My first. yep yep! Made out of three very soft, second-hand teeshirts. I. Am. Awesome.

This is what I was thinking of doing to the collar, but I figured it was too intensive for a first dress. So I went simple. It needs a tank-top/cami underneath, but that's ok. Layering is in.

More shots of the dress:
