A Creative Proposal

Talida sent me this link today.  Its a really creative proposal by some comic book artist.  It makes me think I should put my drawing skills to use for Joe.  =)

I was REALLY bored at work today...

How Embarrassing!

How embarrassing, my boss (NM – you should know who she is) caught me looking at wedding dresses at work today.  But luckily it gave me the opportunity to tell her that I plan to make my own wedding dress.  I was really afraid to tell her that I did not want her to make it for me since I didn’t want to insult her designer ego, but she was really cool with it and thought that it was awesome that I’d do something like that!!  She even said she was relieved because it would be less work for her, and told me I can help myself to the company’s poly georgette for draping the pattern.  What a relief!

btw, I started draping the bodice last night!!  So now i have most of the pattern for the top half complete.  Maybe later I’ll post some really vague pics.  Next to drape or pattern out – skirt, skirt lining, and built in bra….

Sigh, Still Havent Started My Dress

Every time I plan to start working on my dress, something always comes up.  It also doesn’t help that I have to work weekends all month until fashion week.  But HOPEFULLY I’ll be able to at least start it this coming Friday while Joe is at a basketball game.  Seriously, I am so ready to start!  And here’s proof!

Look what arrived in the mail before the holidays.  My brand new professional dressform! (decorated with flower brooches from Anthropologie and Jcrew).  I had enough room in the dress budget to splurge on this discounted Ebay item.

Dressform

I also purchased some muslin for draping the pattern, along with various other trimmings that will all eventually become a part of the dress’s inner workings – I plan to make some sort of built in bra/bodice thingy.

Now I just have to start…I hope I can find the time soon.
