Thank you so much, ladies! I love making big poufy dresses

Last_Chael, your Victorian dress is gorgeous! Did you make it? I love it! And your dresses are so cute! I just saw Dr Who for the first time and I saw the 50's episode! My old roomie fell in love with him and when she came to visit she brought the dvds with her. Fun show

Thank you! Yes I did make it! It's my pride and joy, as I managed it in about 5 days!! I'd actually found the fabric back in December last year, and bought the whole roll of it (10m) not knowing how much I would need for the dress. I found a beautiful fashion plate which inspired my jacket (I jsut love assymetry!), and it fitted with the fabric so well. I do want to go back and fix up the overskirt, it was started at 1am the morning of the event, so it was pretty rushed! I want it to mirror the jacket, so it will come to a point just off centre, slightly gathered at the sides. I also want to add a back drape using the overskirt fabric. The jacket and skirt were also made from period patterns, the jacket was originally a v neck front opening that I modified (it was easier than I thought!). But I have heaps of fabric left over (I think I only used about 2 or 3m!!).

As soon as I saw her shoes I knew I was going to love the outfit!! I'd dearly love to remake the dress in a matte satin, I just have to find some in my price range! The best part is a friend of a friend bears an incredible resemblance to the Dr, so I really wnat to do a photoshoot with him!

The first one I made was actually the dress that Rose Tyler wears in Dr Who when they go back in time to the 50's. As soon as I saw her outfit I knew I jsut had to make it!

I made the dress (circle skirt attached to a strapless ruched bodice with cream trimming) but the jacket was modified from one I bought. I made the sleeves shorter, and used the leftover fabric for the pockets.
There's a few more pictures here.

I love the Rose Tyler outfit! It's quite cute. ^_^

Lovely work as usual Lauren.
Here's a little skirt I whipped up from vintage fabric:

It's very easy; I made a red bow, attached it to a barrette clip, added a vintage bell decoration and some silk holly. All with thread, no hot glue.
The skirt is made from fabric that is intended to be made into a runner and quilted Christmas tree skirt, but you know me; I don't deck the halls, I deck myself. My body is a temple, so I do some serious home decorating.

Isn't that the cutest thing? I love the felt tree skirts. I made a circle skirt from a ponch as well.
I whipped up a bunch of these tacky hair clips a few years ago

Speaking of modeling Xmas outfits...Goldwyn, this may not be the appropriate thread, but is there any way you could post a full-sized version of your new avatar? I'm dying to see your dress and tree in more detail...

 

[goldwyn girl]

I did make the dress so I guess it's appropriate . It's vintage Vogue 2267.

Goldwyn, love the outfit. The pink and black looks really good on you! Hey, is that Gene "baking cookies" in the background?

I knitted a pair of cabled fingerless gloves in a cashmere yarn. I like wearing these in the car, the steering wheel is cold in the morning!

Sorry you can't see the stitch detail better. The yarn has a sheen to it that reflects my camera flash.
