Dickens Fair accomplished!
Dec. 11th, 2006 11:50 pmSort of.
There were lots of last minute things that got rushed (like making my skirt in its entirety less than two hours before the ball), but everything turned out well. My dress fabric was pure gorgeousness, and I have plenty of lead time for next year's Dickens project: day dresses for me and Dawn (Lady Bojangles) and a frock coat for Bojangles.
Full report when I get the pictures from Dawn. Plenty of pointing out what I did wrong and some things I did right. I've completely fallen in love with Victorian costuming, and am plotting furiously for next year's dress.
Just visited Vintage Textile and discovered this piece of amazingness. Simply lovely, especially all that pleating at basically every opportunity and the embroidery. It's always so wonderful to discover a bustle dress that is so restrained an graceful -- it's very easy to go over the top with the embellishment and end up looking like a chaise longue. The bow on the right shoulder is a very whimsical and amusing little touch.
