I've got the hat safe and sound! (It even fits on my giant, giant head) Sorry for the delay, I just got back. :p It'll be winging off to BegintheBeguine on Thursday. Xoxo B

Eeeeeeekkkkkk!!!! It's almost here!:eusa_clap

That would be really pretty. I saw it done a few times when I worked at a theater, the places didn't seem to mind doing just one garment. I'm not sure about the specifics though. I think we used a place in New York called Stanley Pleating. There's also a place in Brooklyn called S.F...

Thanks! I picked it up on Amazon and it is just what I was looking for.

Oh nooooo. No one touches my scissors. When I got my first Gingher wardrobe I went up to my then-fiance and made him sit down while I picked up all the scissors, tied ribbons to their handles, and said "Never, ever use scissors that have a ribbon on the handle. Ever. For anything. There are...

Ohh, sooooooo cute! Congratulations!

Does anyone have any suggestions for learning tailoring for men? I want to try my hand at making some suits (I'd love to do some lovely tailored 19th century menswear). I'd love suggestions for good books on the subject. (Ideally, books with copious illustrations!) BV

Do you guys think something like this might be similar, with a big tray? I can't remember ever having seen one before. hmrr.

I've heard about cigar/cigarette/candy girls before, but I can't find any pictures. Does anyone have any suggestions for where I would look for pictures of them? :D Thanks! B

Oh, I just love Ellowyne Wilde! She's got the most adorable clothes. I want them for myself! This one doesn't have hair yet. She's supposed to have Louise Brooks hair, but I haven't found a good wig for that yet. This one is my husband's doll. (the photo was taken by the woman who did her...

I got this catalogue yesterday, and I think it's really cute but my first thought was definitely "Wow, they shopped her legs longer!" I want to hire that shopper to follow me around and make my legs longer all the time.

Isn't it? :D It's so exciting!

Oh my gosh, that is the cutest thing! I can't wait to see it on!

OK, got a pic of the inside. It's not very pretty. I laced it since I took the last picture, and I didn't want to take it all out because I put rabbit ears in there. The stuff I used to lace it isn't pretty though. I've got proper lacing coming in, but this worked in a pinch. (Also, cell-phone...

This one is my latest. I have been in the most absurdly pink mood lately! I look awful in pink, so I'm just going to have to keep it to underthings. :D Next i need to make a chemise so I can actually wear this. I've been procrastinating because chemises are terribly boring. Le sigh! BV -...
