You must have a thinner, shorter friend who would be happy to wear it.
Nothing too exciting - white cotton skirt from my no-frills 30s pattern! I didn't get a shot of the weave which is why I picked this particular fabric. It's rip-stop from JoAnns. I got red gum all over the back from someone sticking it under a seat.

I LOVE that, cici! So cute!!
I think I forgot to post pictures of the fashion show I did a few months ago! Here's two of the outfits I made. The wedding dress I draped and designed. Both are from rayon satin- the black is crepe back satin with sequined "cape" faced in organza and I used vintage Czech glass buttons and buckle.

That wedding dress is a dream! I love the bust part and the simplicity of the fabric. The back of the black dress is stunning, too.
(btw, I just discovered Ive ordered two patterns fromy ou a few days ago)

Hi all! I've been MIA for a long time, but starting lurking again recently.
Here's my most recent - a Hawaiian blouse for the Bayside Ball. The print's so busy, so you can't see many details except the poufy sleeve that's hanging at a crazy angle in the photo. It's not actually like that. Really! I'm most proud that it only took me 5 days to make - I'm a notoriously slow sewer, but my fabric arrived in the mail on Tuesday and the dance was on Saturday, so I pushed it. Thank goodness for tried and true patterns!
**Note +1's pocket square - he picked up my buttonhole practice scrap and decided to repurpose it!

Thanks Lauren! dakotanorth walked up to me at the dance and the first thing he said was "Denver Fabrics!" It's highly recognizable. Wish I could find more prints from that company.

Thank you ladies for your kind words--means a lot coming from such a talented group.
Lorelai--thank you, the shoes are the remix hand tooled heels, I was so glad they fit the model.

Everyone has been making some amazing things!
In order to fill out the hole left from selling a lot of my earlier day dresses, and a pledge I have to make all of my repro patterns, Im making more dresses. These will be great for summer.
All details and progress and the like can be found in the links in my sig line.
Yay sewing!

Super cute, LD! I especially love the contrast portions - it focuses the eye on the design of the dress (plus it's my favorite trick for when you don't have *quite* enough fabric Very flattering!
Very flattering!
