the costume I'm submitting to the FaSTa art exhibition

This is a Marie Antoinette costume I designed, and my mom and I made together a few years ago. A good bit of the detail got destroyed, so I've sort ten hours already changing it. There was a bit of pink taffeta, which I've replaced with black because I what it to look more modern, and I want the print, which reminds of of Warhol's flowers, to pop more. I changed the lace edging on the sleeves and neck, all of the stripping detail. I also made some cool taffeta black bows that I want to bead an stitch onto the striping.

I also have to press and starch the whole thing and sew it to the dress dummy so it has more of a physical shape for the exhibition.

I have until Friday.

Then, I need to find some sheerling for my next project, and I need to make our Halloween costumes.

vintage

I found this at the thrift store today. It's pretty huge, and all hand stitched. I can't imagine making something like this. It makes me want to start cross stitching or knitting again, even though it's neither of those things.

vintage necklaces / 20s mod

the gold and silver one is vintage Avon from the 60s, and the long beaded one my mom constructed by macramé at least 25 yrs ago. lace mini dress and headband with feather.

I haven't been much into make up lately. And I've been much more into loose cottons and laces; canvas as opposed to leather; oversized cut of Levi's shorts and thigh-skimming mini dresses that are airy. I'm much more into 60s style lately too; idk. times they are a changin.
