Grr. Okay. Well, I almost have my dressing gown finished. I pretty much just have to hem it and sew the lace on, and then the beading, and I'll be done. It's...
That was one of the pics that M (captneedle) sent me, but since you posted it, I won't. It's a fabulous picture - you can see that the cream ribbon actually IS...
Your dressing gown sounds awesome! As for your hair; I have waist length hair, and I use foam curlers. Just like you, I can't use a curling Iron. However, the...
... It's great to see major fabric companies finally promoting advanced dressmaking techniques! The bodice-making you describe is actually a traditional...
I don't have hair quite as long as you, but it used to have hair butt length. I had a bit of a hard time sometimes because of the length, but I used to use the...
I have come to the conclusion that it is indeed in tow pieces, a camisole and a skirt. That's how I'm making mine:D Dana Skywalker <dantanaskywalker@...>...
Do you really want to spend an hour a day brushing it, or twenty minutes just shampooing it? ;) I have to keep it up in a bun most of the time or I sit on it....
I don't really mind spending time with my hair. :) Bun curls are where you bun up your hair in several buns when its wet/damp and pin it. When it dries, you ...
Hi everyone, I just browsed through all of the threads and found little information on the wedding dress. Has anyone made it yet and is willing to share lots...
Yes, the wedding gown is a lovely gown, alhough I haven't heard too much about it anywhere. And yes, I believe some relatives may find the dressing gown a...
Hello! The wedding dress would be awesome for your big day! (I would have to say that the wedding dress would be better than the dressing gown as well) I am...
Check out the Vogue patterns, I want to say I've seen one there that looks really close. Also check out the pics from the auction on ebay. I've got them and...
cant add much im afraid except this struck me as a very traditional style wedding dress and you could certainly find something very similar to the headdress in...
I have caps of it up here: http://www.people.virginia.edu/~krm4h/phantom/screencaps/wedding From what I can tell, I gathered the following: - The bodice is...

Hello there! I just joined the group and thought I would introduce myself. I work from home sewing, making primarily costumes. I'm completely in love with...
Welcome, Randi. I've never had any formal training either, but I manage to squeeze out half-decent results :D It's good to know I'm not the only one who...
I recently wrote this pattern recommedation for someone else and I thought I'd add it in here so everyone can have access to it: For the skirt, I used this: ...
Welcome randi! Yes, it was me (Amy) who recommended the pattern! I agree with Sumalee, the masquerade dress would go perfectly with the rest of your family's...
Thank you all for the warm welcome! While I think that dress is gorgeous, I don't think I can pull it off. I cannot wear pink with my skin tone. It makes me...
Baby pink also makes my skin look yellow. But I find a nice pale salmon color doesn't. You might still be able to wear it, but in a different shade of pink...
Or, if you go for that sort of thing, you could be really original and do it in a different color that looks better on you. Sometimes it doesn't change the...
I wish I could have told you to avoid that flexible boning before you put it in. It often can bend oddly and you need to be very carefully sinse it can bend...
