Happy Birthday, Karl!!!
This one is very similar to what I actually bought for Prom. Except the dress is a black with a beige vine print and an ecru lace overlay above the bust. A very flattering style and makes anyone look like they have a lot of waist. I just haven't figured out yet if I could put or need a crinoline under it.
So pretty, Sail. That one featured, has a crinoline under it. I think within the last week or two, Jilli gave some advice on how full a skirt needed to be, to accomodate a crinoline, maybe, unless I dreamt that, which is possible. Maybe thread suck and control+F for Jilli?
Poor, poor frazzled Jilli! Many calming vibes and No More Insects ~ma for the Reason household.
Remember the retard who was on my fire escape about a year ago at 2am hanging a sign? Well, they're hanging a sign again and on the fire escape and the roof. It's making Toto go nuts. They're not allowed to be on the roof. I feel like calling the cops again.
I vaguely remember the story, vw. Who are they, though?
Oh, Pete, poor Jilli. I just killed one in my kitchen, not 10 minutes ago.
I can totally see Laura in that dress.
how full a skirt needed to be, to accomodate a crinoline
I think she said 100" circumference around the hem. My big deal is more, does it need it? I don't think it does, but would it look better with one? I need someone to see it on to give me good advice. I'll probably model it for her or JZ to give me an idea.
Happy Birthday, Karl!!!!
I can deliver a birthday hug in person in less than 2 weeks!
but looks pretty and vaguely late summer/Halloweeny
Halloweenie is good. You betcha.
Is it feasible, from a seamstress POV, to take my cherry dress and cut off the bodice and add a zipper and waistband to the skirt, to make it into just, well, a skirt?
(By "seamstress POV," I mean someone not me. I don't want to take it in with this crack-headed idea and have her laugh at me. No one likes getting mocked by a seamstress.)
Steph, it should be possible, unless (and possibly even if), it's very oddly constructed.
ION, a BBC interview with a hacker who went looking for UFO technology. Pinch of salt required, but still interesting reading.
