I don't know about others, but I've wasted entirely too much time today drooling over the new version of the Dutchess movie website.  All I know is...must...recreate...the...drunken dress. Oooooh!!



The dress looks even better at the website. The silk is much more of a red color--and just fantasticulous!  Hat toss to [profile] lisotchka for posting this morning that the site had been marvelously enhanced!

Meanwhile, I've started preparing for Saloncon. I am thinking of making two outfits, including one steampunk effort. While I totally get into the Victorian aesthetic, I'm having a slight concern about this. I like the industrial side to it--but things like clockwork cotton seems somewhat cliched to me. It will be interesting to see what I come up with... Right now, I'm playing with making a bustle skirt out of ribbon organza. I'm not sure though....

I totally know what you mean about the clockwork fabric being too obvious. Don't get me wrong, it's cute, but if you're going for something that feels 'real' rather than 'costume', then something else is needed. Like brown and black stripes :) http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=100661&sid=31U9Hz1@H5Sw4F1-35108050616.93

Yum.

Stripes are really appealing (those are so cool), though I'm trying (!) to sew from the stash...I'm feeling a bit more inspired, though.

I LOVE this website...all except the typo that Marie-Antoinette was executed in 1973.

Thank goodness I wasn't drinking anything at the time!

I think Lucille might need a drunken dress, too! Either that or a 1973 miniskirt! ;-)
