I have a display mannequin in the lounge, but she is naked, she is mainly holding a sci-fi alien headpiece up to prevent it deforming. So I'm going to put that on once I finish typing :)
My dressform is loaned out to a friend, and the one I have borrowed in replacement is also naked while I tidy my art space. I have just restored my sewing/ironing desk top so I can actually start working again :) I have a new removeable cover to finish sewing as well. Then I can iron huge applique pieces again. As for current projects: Finally finishing my c1600 Spanish gown, stage one anyway. I decided I probably won't have enough trim for the doublet and the galerilla as I thought so doublet is a higher priority. It means all new stays, finishing the underlayers and tracking down lace of a suitable size. While doing this I have documentation to write up, which means a fair amount of scanning so, ugh. Got that to look forward to. I also have an Elsa spring gown to make (Frozen Fever) as the ice gown sleeves can get a little warm at big children's events :) Michaela -- http://arrayedindreams.com https://instagram.com/i.chimaera/ https://www.facebook.com/mdb.i.chimaera _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
