'Black gowns' project
- Robe a la francaise black silk taffeta
- Robe a l'anglaise black roses taffeta with black lace sleeves
- Natural form gown black silk taffeta with black lace
- Bustle gown (possibly black pvc)
- Elizabethan gown with standing ruff
And all of a sudden I'm having a thing for blue. So I'm planning some blue gowns for this year. Although I don't have any definite designs in my mind, this is my blue gowns list:
'Blue gowns' project
- Interview with the vampire - Claudia's blue gown (see creedsgalbirdy 's pictures of Dragon*con)
- Robe a la francaise ice blue taffeta or other fabric (I haven't got any in my stash)
- Something (have no ideas yet) of royal blue chinese brocade with butterflies (I have 6 meters in my stash. Unfortunately it's only 90 cm wide)
- Also I have 15 yards of blue/green silk taffeta (sometimes called peacock taffeta). I would love to use it for a robe a la francaise with peacock feathers.
- And I have seen a beautiful royal blue velvet. Again, no ideas yet, but I would love to use this for something beautiful.
- And maybe a LOTR elvish gown in blue with silver embroidery
And I want to make something for my husband this year. I have promised for years to make him something and this year, for the first time, I'm going to try and make men's clothing.
Men's clothing
- 18th century shirt
- 18th century waistcoat
- 18th century frockcoat
- 19th century waistcoat
- 19th century coat
And not to forget all those unfinished projects that are lying in my closet. Oh, and don't forget the big stash either. I have so much fabric I should use, but I always end up buying new (sounds familiar? :D). Besides all the historic gowns, I would love to make some day wear (more fishtails and shrugs probably :D) and a wool coat. Another new thing I would love to try is hat making. So probably I will give it a go. Hmmm, seeing all these lists I'm already feeling I will not get everything done this year. There just isn't enough time in a year :).
