End of year costume revue.

[mlsdesigns]

Here we go, let's see how long this takes!!



Silk 1820s afternoon dress for a Playford ball held in a very cold historic hall!


Sunflower Sack Back, made for the Georgian Minuette ball in Bath, worn again at UTR.


Ruffly hoops!!!!


Clare's pink suit (with help from Clare), Mummy's breeches and waistcoat, also worn at the Minuette ball in Bath.


A very bad picture of Clare's Regency sari ball gown!


My gold Gaule, made on a whim and I love it!!


Indian print Duchess inspired jacket and petticoat, and faun and pink mini tricorn.


Gold stripe ballgown, and, my most favourite thing ever, my Emmy ridicule!


Red wool round gown, long sleeved shift, Swiss muslin split ruffle cap and trimmed round hat.


Spotted voile chemise dress for Jenny Rose's picnic :)


Bathing dresses for the three of us, made to withstand cold English seas!


Anglaise made from an Ikea duvet cover, and brown linen petticoat.


Plaid silk dress for me, spotted silk dress and plaid turban for Mummy, plaid sleeveless spencer for Clare, for the Playford ball in Scotland.


Remade white sheere dress, Clare's plaid bustle skirt and blue velvet evening bodice.


Clare's blue velvet day bodice and straw hat with blue wings.


Day bodice for gold stripe ballgown skirt.


Clare's cotton print shirt waist and bustle skirt, cream straw hat.


The only half way decent shot I have of Mummy's blue cotton print day gown! I really need her to wear this for some good pictures!!!


Clare's new corset.


Clare's scarlet wool spencer, my blue wool puffed sleeve spencer.


Clare's Ikea duvet cover drop front day dress.


Mummy's insane turban!


Clare's red and cream sari ballgown.


Gold spot sari ballgown.


Mummy's green wool pelise.


Mummy's red and black shot silk ballgown, and my retrimmed pink ballgown.


Mummy's new corset.


Mummy's green velvet hat with turkey feather trim.


I have GOT to get some proper photos of this dress! She's worn it three times and I still don't have any pics!


'Skirt' for my brown silk velvet spencer, rabbit fur muff and tippet.


Clare's blue silk embroidered waistcoat.


Blue silk jumps, finished just in time for the party, and, of course, I don't have any proper photos!


I've decided I need to do less this year, this list took far too long! All afternoon!!! It's so much fun to see it all in one place though ;)

You really did do a lot, didn't you? Impressive. (And oh my, but you have some HORRIBLE photos of me! And some lovely ones.) I'm glad I got some nice pictures at the party. All of those unposed ones from either end of the room looked like they were going to come out really nicely. The ones that were in focus, anyway, before we went to candlelight!

Fabulous! Well done on all you were able to make.

[wieselkind.livejournal.com]

I especially like the Duchess inspired dress.

WOW, this is an impressive list! Loved seeing all this in one place, and loved seeing some of these things in person - it was SO lovely to meet you this summer at UTR, and hopefully we'll get to meet again in the UK for the JAF Sept 2011 ~ so much sewing accomplished, loved it!

Wow! I'd forgotten some of the stunning things you made this year. It's nice to see them all. You were very busy this year! And what's extra impressive is that your quality didn't suffer at all. Every piece is gorgeous! You should be proud. :)

[bellamissella.livejournal.com]

Wow. It is all so amazing and beautiful! Well done!

Can I ask? Where do you get the saris for your ball gowns? I especially love your cream and gold one. :)

Hi there, just been looking at your lovely costumes. I'm a particular fan of the sunflower number! I took your advice and invested in a dress form, best thing I ever did :-)

Peace,
