I feel like I haven't blogged about or made a new costume in ages, and I was on such a roll this year! I have one more week before I start classes for the fall so it's time to think about what's on my event plate. 

1. Belvidere/[livejournal.com profile] madamekat's victorian party - NEW DRESS (more on that later)
2. Germantown - if it's warm I'll wear the chemise, if it's cold either the evil teal dress or possibly my francaise weather dependant
3. Can't think of anything else, but I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

For Belvidere (which you ALL should come to) I think I'm going to make this blue dress with the blue taffeta I got too late to use last year. It's a synthetic but it's a really good synthetic and frankly I'm a broke student the stash is where it's at. 



I don't have as much fabric as I'd really like to so I'm going to have to be thrifty with my cutting. I plan to make the base skirt out of a matching colored cotton then apply on the rhomus shaped appliques and the bottom pleats. I'm going to start with the bottom layered skirt from TV208 as I have it in my grubby hands and that's a good enough place to start!

An early '70s La Mode Illustree plate (of course I've already started posting about it...and as soon as I finish dinner, sewing it!)
