1950's Wedding Dress

I am making a wedding dress for a gal from the Chanhassen based on the above dress. I am so glad she picked this one because it was my favorite out of the 1950's patterns I found!

The neckline is so classy, and I will carve out the sleeves to make it sleeveless.

The wedding is in early September, so I only have a month to complete it. Go, Go, Super Stitcher!

New Look!

Gave the ol' blog a new look! What do you all think? A new title and everything.

I have not been keeping up with my vow to draw more... though I did do a few and they turned out rather better than I thought!

No more news on the costume front, though I plan on writing up on the new Harry Potter film (while trying to keep long winded rants to a minimum).

Also, more people should totally "follow" my blog :D

Drawing

I have decided that I am going to learn how to draw.

I have never been very good at it, and my costume renderings are never very detailed because of it.

I've also been inspired by looking at Makani's fanart, my desire to redesign the Harry Potter costumes, and Lea's amazing drawings of our Belly Dancing Disney Princesses :)

My goal is to draw at least one new thing a day to improve my skills. If any of you (ehhhm.. Lea..Lauren..) have any advice, please feel free to throw it my way!

I feel pretty! Oh, so pretty!

CONvergence was amazing! No wins, again.. Boo!

Pictured are the Hogwarts gals in their Yule Ball best!

Future Costumes planned: Belle Ballgown, Belle Blue, Jasmine, Alana (Ariel's Sister)- a functional mermaid costume, possibly Rapunzel.

What's with all the Disney, you ask?
