Re: [h-cost] Movie Costume Question: McGonagall's Yule Ensemble
Hi everyone, You are all the most amazing costume sleuths I have ever known! The links and colour info are just wonderful, and all these details! Wow! I promise I will post pics of the result. I may try making the black gown too--watching Minerva lead the defense of Hogwarts was just stupendous, and that's where the large pic of her looking so intense comes from. :) Great that modern cameras can let us see so close as to determine the pattern on a solid colour like that! For the over-gown, I think the pre-pintucked fabric can be gotten in stores in all sorts of colours but I have yet to see it in that close a match of shade. If I find a non-tucked fabric that looks like the colour closely enough, I'll bite the bullet and pintuck it myself as the lady did in that tutorial someone posted the other day. I had not noticed all the close details (tailed collar and cuffs, thank you, De!) so those pieces of info are a godsend. I did order the dreadful costume cape (lol!) and noticed that the list of notions includes rigilene. This is going to be a fun challenge! :) Thanks so much! I think I will create a blog page for this project. in huge appreciation, Meli ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] Movie Costume Question: McGonagall's Yule Ensemble
well, that's a relief, actually, because the only thing I could find at simplicity 3076 was some 1930?'s vintage women's slips! thanks!! about the 2529 pattern being out of print? I just called my local Joanne's and indeed, that pattern isn't in the drawer and isn't in the current book, BUT! it is still on-line and I just ordered a copy on-line, and so far, the order appears to be proceeding normally. I'm going back to the webpage and take all possible screen-caps of the pattern envelope, but MAYBE I'll get a copy of the pattern. will let the list know if it turns up.

If you hold your cursor over the shoulder area it will zoom in and you can see the points. I don't eve know if there is a pattern 3076.
