I'm still working hard on the family's 17th C. oufits. Look for pictures sometime next week. :^) Hopefully...
Until then, here are a couple of recent projects for Etsy clients:
A white cotton voile regency drawstring dress. This was for a 12-year old girl - I think it will be lovely for her special event. White dresses are always so elegant and simple. And I love doing this regency pattern - its just plain fun.
This next project I just finished yesterday. It was definately a little more complicated - quite a challenge!
A 'Tangled' Rapunzel dress in an adult size! How much fun is that?
The skirt is actually attached to a spagetti strap under bodice. The over bodice with the pink sleeves laces up the front with pink ribbon through hand-worked pink thread eyelets.
Frying pan and chameleon were not included with the costume.
Two layer skirt!
The skirt trim came from fabric.com - some lovely floral organza-backed ebroidery stuff decorated with pearly seed-beads. Cute!!
Neckline, waist, sleeves, and skirt all trimmed with lace.
Hope everyone is having a good Friday!
You are so talented! Beautiful job! =)
ReplyDeleteWow, incredible work! I love the simplicity of the Regency gown, but you have some amazing skills to make that Rapunzel outfit. Lovely! I cannot wait until I'm advanced enough in sewing to make elaborate costumes. :-)
ReplyDeleteBoth costumes are great.
ReplyDeleteOh my word! God has blessed you with an amazing gift! Your work is absolutely lovely!

Hello, my name is Camille and I just started following. I got your link from Feelin' Feminine. I LOVE your blog! I just checked out your Etsy shop and *wow* I can only dream of sewing like you! I especially love the Edwardian skirt! I am going to show that to my mother (maybe for Christmas? haha!) It is just gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the detail on the Rapunzel dress, especially the pink trim. Very well done!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS work! Just a question about the "Tangled" dress:
ReplyDeleteApproximately how long did that take you? Because I see one approaching me in my future...and I would love to know in advance approximately how many hours/how much $$$ to charge the person.
I hope you were paid well!
I can't wait to sew costumes again. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wow, you did a wonderful job re-creating that dress. You are so creative and talented!!
ReplyDeletewow congratulations this is awesome ! and since i'm going to see that movie with my daughter next weekend, now i'll think of you & this gorgeous dress !
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of your Rapunzel Dress! So jealous! I'm working on one atm, except I'm just modifying a dress I found at the op-shop. I won't be as close to the real thing as I'd hoped, but whatever :) A girl can always use a pretty pink princess dress!
ReplyDeleteIs this for sale?
ReplyDeleteBoth are available from my Etsy shop, http://bonnybluearts.etsy.com, or if they aren't currently listed you can contact me.

ReplyDeleteLovely gowns! I bet the Rapunzel gown was a lot of fun to make! Did you design the pattern? Is it for you or was it a commission? In any case, it is a wonderful gift to be able to turn fantasy into reality!
ReplyDeleteaw- thank you! I combined/changed several different patterns for the Rapunzel dress. - Yes that was my fisrt 'Tangled' comission. :)
ReplyDeleteI am a HUGE fan of the movie Tangled and have seen it many times. This dress looks exactly like Rapunzel's and it is beautiful! I LOVE your work.
ReplyDeleteOh my Goodness! Please tell me I can purchase this!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you use patterns for this? if so what did you use? I'm having trouble finding patterns to make this
ReplyDeleteSarah, I used several different patterns to make the tangled dress. The outer bodice was based on Butterick 6196, and the underbodice was based on Simpilicty 7206. The skirt was a simple gathered panel skirt, and the sleeves I drafted myself. Hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteI would KILL for the Rapunzel dress!!!
