Dress for S – Complete

Dress for S Front Dress for S Back

Forgot to put up these photos on tuesday, but here they are. =)
I’ve started my next order, a red 50’s style dress that a friend is going to wear when she’s a bridesmaid. When I’m done with that I’ll get back to work on the Alice costumes.

Everyday Life

Well I haven’t updated in a month, sorry, life has been really busy since my last update. I had to work extra because my co-worker was sick & I haven’t been feeling too great myself for the past month, stubborn cold that refuses to go away completely.
Otherwise things have been good, I’ve had family visiting & hanging out with good friends & laughing alot & I mean alot!!!!!! =D

The dress for S is finished, I’ll put up some photos tomorrow. The corset didn’t turn out exactly as I had hoped but she was still happy, that will teach me to try a new pattern on a new body, should always try new patterns on myself first.

Dress for S.

Fabric - Dress for S.

The Alice in Wonderland costumes are on hold for the moment, I need to get started on the dress I’m making for S, it has to be done by Easter. =)
I did see Alice in Wonderland last night at the cinema & I loved it, the costumes are great. If you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend that you do.

More Studio Photos by Leo Erdfelt

The last of the photos, which have a funny little story behind them. I made these two costumes when I studied in Gothenburg, back in 2001. The men’s costume was made to fit my brother (he used to be very skinny), I tried the whole costume on a year or so ago & could just fit into it. Anyway it turns out that I’ve gained abit of weight so I couldn’t fit into the shorts & neither could my friend so we just hung them infront instead, which is why it looks weird. =)

Now I ask you to please ignore the wrinkles, as the dress got wrinkled in the garment bag & me being silly, forgot to bring my iron to fix it at the photoshoot. Luckily I can still fit into my dress, but that’s only because I have to wear a corset underneath. We had to pull the corset abit tighter than it has been before & that would have been fine, but because we also forgot to eat lunch, I almost passed out. =)
So note to self, next photoshoot – eat lunch & bring iron.
