Dresses

So I started an interesting little project today. Lots of people I know are getting married... Everyone apperently picked the same year or something geez. And since I've been making one of my friends bridesmaid's dresses I've decided that I'm going to make a dress for myself that I can wear to all of these weddings were I'm totally going to get drunk and stand up and make a horibbly embaressing speech about the happy couple.. lol You just wait you happy couples o.o
And well for the ones that I can't make it to... I'll mail you my drunken speech  XP hows that? That is the one thing that sucks about moving. But I'm super excited about moving and besides when all you kiddies that are my friends decide you want to go on vaction you can totally come stay in FL with me for a week and we'll have a party :D

But anywho back to what i was talking about. I've decided that I want to make a 50s styled dress. Like really really really bad. My attempts to find a vintage on in my size or even a recreated one in a decent price range fail epicly (or I got out bid on e-bay... damn you person!!) So I ended up buying a vintage pattern from sandritocat on etsy.com it was this pattern http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=29457899 because I was going mad trying to find on with a neckline simular to that. The faberic I got for it is a charcol grey and is really pretty. Grey has always been on of those colors that I just like, besides it's nice neutral. I think I'm going to modify the neck a little though and make it more of a sweetheart line as long as the collared like part is there I'm happy though. lol I also got some white lace that I'm going to put around the collar and around the bottom of hte skirt, it's going to be spiffy :)
And to make this even cooler I'm making some petticoats to wear underneath it. Cause well number 1 its was the 50s and they wore petticoats uner their dresses so they would flare out more and number 2 I'm going to have the petticoats about and inch or 2 long than the dress so you can see the giant ruffles of color that will be there. I'm making an orange one and a light blue one. I'll be boss!! Also this pattern can totally double as a costume pattern for when I finally get around to making my splicer costume, I just won't be using this kind of material... cheaper stuff cause I'll be destorying it anyway.

I'm so excited, the point I'm at right now everything seems to be going right and I hope it keeps going that way.

:))))
