Ever since Peter Jensen made his tulle front dress, I’ve been interested in silhouettes that play with layered texture.  The strand dress has a pleated front panel that layers over a strapless power mesh slip.  Adding the cincher belt gives some shape, but allows the pleats to move freely.  Knotted belts look cool, but can be fussy (you need a good vintage belt that’s soft enough to loop and stay), so I made it fully fashioned, with a metal hook to fasten at center back.

I’ve been working on my portfolio . . . just getting my hand back and sketching things I’d like to wear.  I’m anxious to give the croquis more personality and dress them in my designs!

I am not worthy.

Hullo there, I’ve waited to see you for a long time.

Going on a vacay, so I pulled some images that make me think of the city.  It’s going to be freakin’ awesome.  Vacation hard on five. SLAP!

I got some great, meaty comments my last post.  Whenever I set into a blogger’s malaise caused by bloggeroos complimenting my dress, which is really a shirt and a pair of pants, I need feedback letting me know people care to read what dkfjsdljakjsiewoewoiuldjfa I’m writing.  Thanks.

Moze: I got scruples too, you know. You know what that is? Scruples?
Addie: No, I don’t know what it is, but if you got ‘em, it’s a sure bet they belong to somebody else!

Paper Moon.  One of my all time favs.
