Dress Photo, March 2014

The table-cloth dress. It is a polyester-cotton fabric, but a cute print.

I've just notices the pose is basically "Portrait of Mme. X." Bit less aggressive, though. This wouldn't shock the bourgeoisie in the same way.

Good lord I haven't half got a giant head.

Very pretty; what's the pattern?
And yes, you have a definite look of Sargent about you!

Simplicity 4685 (http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071206061306/vintagepatterns/images/5/58/S4685.jpg) -- I always just make the outer layer in a solid fabric, rather than a lace dress over a slip like on the pattern envelope.

I think I have a late-Victorian head on a 1920s body.

Very nice! Yesterday I picked up a copy of Simplicity 5098 (http://sewingpatternheaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Simplicity-5098-1.jpg) for a buck fifty, as well as a Simplicity 5094 (http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071221091726/vintagepatterns/images/4/47/S5094.jpg), just because I like the neckline variations. They came from a vintage store downtown which has a box of 50s patterns, one of 60s patterns, and one of 70s. They also had an extensive range of Hentai, and loads of geological samples. I love places with a weird mix of stuff....

So.... you can make clothes for the tentacle rocks?

All the better to cart around your Titan Intellect. I myself can only shop for hats at Tilleys and Army Surplus. Everyone else just has useless little Bic Pen caps.

Well that's the appeal of fascinators, I suppose -- they don't actually have to fit one's head, just stick to it.

In fact I posit that anything that can be made to stay on one's head (and isn't too heavy) can theoretically be a fascinator hat.

Benjamin Green-Field of Chicago, you with me on this?

He's with me. (http://www.pinterest.com/mrobak/vintage-hat-bes-ben/)

That is gorgeous; I love both the pattern and the fabric, and you look excellent in it, and it on you!
