You've ever made a bum roll so big that you looked like a Kenyan tribal dancer.<br /><span class="text_exposed_show"> 3. Home depot employees know your first name, AND what you need spring steel and wire for.. <br />
4. Your Netflix list is referred to by family members as "Ambien
Theater" and contains such treasures as "The Lady and the Highwayman"<br /> 5. You have had to install a garment rack the full length of your garage (with a hat shelf, of course)<br /> 6. You have ever sewn your own shoes (or at least tried to).<br /> 7. The word "undergarments" brings to mind apparel big enough to put framework in and stay the night.<br /> 8. You get giddy at the after Christmas sale of ribbons and big plastic tubs.<br />
9. You've ever been to a church rummage sale and literally become short
of breath over a big score of brocade curtains. (No, honey, really I'm
ok....snatching them up to outrun your paranoia that someone else might
try and get them before you.<br /> 10. You shop at thrift stores by
yourself, rather than explain to your non costumer friend WHY this
(whatever crap you found) is SO AWESOME!<br /> 11. You know silk by its "temperature" and texture. Extra points if you know what I mean by "temperature".<br />
12. You dream in "Epic Costume Mode". Yesterday, I was in a mermaid
suit, and I looked friggin' fantastic! Luckily, I am thin in my dreams.<br />
13. You judge the amount of coffe/tea you make by how big the project
is, and you don't understand the incredulous look you get from your
sweetheart when you make cappucino at 10pm. Whaaaat??<br /> 14. You own more than three machines, and there is at least one dead one in the garage that did not survive you. <br /> 15. You have ever talked your sweetheart into trying on your dress or poofy pants so you can check the drape/hem/ etc. <br /> 16. You own a big box of hair. Some of it reminiscent of road kill. <br /> 17. You attend the opera for the costumes (extra points if you bring an ipod).<br /> 18. Your hoard of fabric and junk is growing faster than your kids. <br />
18. Apon hearing the news that a local cock fighting ring was shut down, you grieve for the loss of all those beautiful feathers as much as for the poor birds themselves being euthanized and incinerated. 19. You have ever attended a public function with your hands dyed
completely blue, and your only issue with that was that it came out
indigo instead of cyan.</span></span></span></h5>

I love hats....You can be somebody new just by putting on a hat.
Sometimes I love a hat so much that I wear it in the wrong period
event....just because I can :). Actually, I would like to shoot myself for wearing a fedora to Texas Renaissance Festival. It seemed like a good idea at the time. </div>

This was for a client in Houston. Her first court gown. This was before altering. I took in the shoulder pieces and brought up the hem a bit. She wears this with a victorian style corset, so the front is not as flat as I might like. I am trying to talk her into that for next season ;)<br />

Red is tough, huh? Looks wine or pink often in pics.

This is still in progress with pin tucks, hand smocking and machine decorative stitching, not really blackwork. I call it faux blackwork : The next one, I will put the ruffle or lace on first, and then smock. I really did not leave enough space to attach it easily. Also I will make the sleeve less voluminous, as the smocking was a bit too loose and I had to put in stitches to tighten the cuff underneath. To mark the space to be smocked, I used a graphite art pencil. I would have used a blue wash out pen, but, of course....couldn't locate one of the three I own! The honeycomb pleats are marked with dots in a grid of 1/4" by 1/2" rows, 5 of them.<br />

Crepe backed satin is my favorite fabric for faire gowns. It machine washes beautifully, and travels well. Any wrinkles release easily with a little water spritz.<br />

The grommets had to be couched because the fabric was pulling away from them and fraying. I would not use this fabric again due to a serious wrinkling issue unresolved without pressing. Not realistic for faire use. For future reference...couching sucks!! It is HIGHLY time consuming. This took me about 12 hours, I think Like the results, don't really like the process.<br />

Tudor Stays. These are three layers (one fashion fabric, two canvas duck) built for comfort and durability. 22 bones: 20 of spring steel, with 2 nylon bones on the sides for flexibility. Thicker laces are more appropriate but these were what I happened to have with me.<br />

Trying to publish a blog and website at the same time has been rather aggravating. Any advice is much appreciated. I have been costuming and custom designing clothing for the better part of 20 years, as well as doing historical textile and fashion research. I also teach classes on millinery, historical garb, corsetry, and a few other things. Being knowledgeable about clothing history does not obligate me to make it or wear it. My clients are largely Renaissance Faire participants, so I have to keep comfort, practicality, and flattering the wearer in mind. Precise historical accuracy is reserved for SCA events, and clients who desire it. I am honored to be in such illustrious company. I had no idea there were so very many REALLY talented costumers. If I added you to follow your blog, it is because I found you delightful and/ or amazing and wanted to read all about you later!Isabeaumondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16961817168574518772noreply@blogger.com0
