dancingleafSpent most of the day sewing yest. Had to add something to the red outfit I planned to wear Wednesday night so I made this simple panel skirt to wear with the red harems& bra/belt set.
almost have the pants for HS finished. about another 1-2 hours should do that. I'll post a photo of them when they are actually finished. (cream)
then I really REALLY have to make a decision about the colour and fabric for the over skirt. I spent about 1/2 hr sketching out and doing the math for it just now. Had to get up way too early and send hubby out the door to work.
I'm hoping once I get the pants finished I can bring larger samples of fabric into the store with me to help me choose the colours. The biggest problem is ... choosing the colour. I want something that looks good with my colouring. Which is Red. Red or burgundy. always good colours for me. Chocolate would be a good choice with the pants. Pale pink might work but I'll need to see a larger colour sample. I rarely wear either colour so no idea if they look good on me. Ideally I'd have someone go with me to help choose the colour but...the problems with that... either I don't trust this person's judgement, or that person isn't available. AND all you LJ friends are just too far away to make a quick run to the fabric store with me!
And then I still have to figure out the top. *groan*
What day is this?
How many more weeks do I have? (October 25) I still have to nail the choreo. As much as I love the song - I can't just go up there and wing it.
But I really have to set the music for the Wednesday night gig. omg Why does it feel like time is just whooshing through my fingers...

Date: 2008-09-30 08:34 pm (UTC)I'm planning either a chocolate satin (OR lace) circle skirt hiked up in front & arranged to looking like trailing skirt with bustle? in back. Quite possibly with a thin-ish belt done in a similar same style as that red one I made. Either in chocolate or a combination of chocolate in cream... maybe with bronze jewelry type accents, or pearl, or cowrie shell. I'm also planning for that circle skirt to have a tier at the bottom - possibly with more of the tea dyed lace over the tier. Which makes me think - it may be satin - with... the chocolate lace done as gloves? or? on the bra?
Almost this look...http://tribes.tribe.net/kathleencrowleycostumecouture/photos/ee24c3c6-49f6-4fbe-bfd0-82a346bd4b4e
but more... ? Victorian? turn of the century? more of the fabric out to the hips...
