In which there is much eye-candy
Jul. 5th, 2006 08:12 pmYeah, that's right, pictures ! And not only from recent projects, but older ones, too. First and foremost, a project from last year, which I wore for the first time yesterday and again today. I figured, since I had the dress on and wanted to take pictures anyway, I could just as well use the self timer - I wasn't lucky with it this time, but you get the idea. The fabric is a some polyester print. Unfortunately, the print is a little off-grain, and I cut following the print, so the dress tends to shift a little when I wear it. I present you Mandarine :

Since then, the neckline has been changed into a deeper V, and has an elastic, and the back has been made narrower (it fitted me perfectly, but the lady is a bit thinner than myself). I took the inspiration from empire fashion, and inserted a wide pleated piece of fabric at the CF seam of the skirt. The dress stops about 10cm above my ankle, should be longer on my friend. The fabric is Ikea's bomull, dyed green. Here you get a general idea :
( Players beware ! Do NOT click if you plan on playing at our next LARP ! )
This last bit is the project I'm carrying around and handsewing during my breaks and commuting time. I'm also working on modern summer clothes, linen pants and, if everything goes according to plans, two printed cotton tunics.
