Took me long enough, but I finally got around to making a bodice to match that striped Wash overskirt I made this past summer. 97% was done as of New Year's Eve and can technically count for 2007. Today I did buttons and buttonholes and added the trim.








I'll be wearing this outfit tomorrow to appear in that music video.

You are going to look divine! What are you wearing on your head?
Is that TV463? Had a bit of trouble following the directions for that back tail section. Finally ignored the instructions and did a mock up in paper to get the pleats right. Have fun tomorrow!!

Yup! Agreed...I made up the pleat arrangement, too!

Thank you!

Oh, I'll probably wear a mini top hat with some red accents like fabric roses.

Your talent continues to amaze me -- I'm just staring thunderstruck. What a beautiful gown! And now you have the fun of wearing it!

I also love that there's a cat in the second shot, having a snack.

The video should be an adventure :) I hope we'll be able to find out when it'll be released. The camera ought to love you even if you are one among many extras.. you're sure to be among the best dressed!

Looks great Kat! :)

I wish I could be in that video, I really do have just the wardrobe. Philly is fairly far away from NY though.

Thank you!

Yeah, it's not around the corner, and the shoot is late, so you'd be getting home very, very late.

The overskirt bustling feature was done with drawstrings instead of permanent tacks, so it was easy to let out, wash and iron.

is that a modern retro term?
or a historical term?
(to the best of your knowledge.)
havnt encountered that one before.

I have no idea-it's not my term. It's the name of the skirt pattern from Truly Victorian, and she explained why it was called "Wash" one time. Sorry I don't have any further info!

The DVD helped?

you keep making things in black and red..like its your way of telling me to come and steal them and then make you remake it in my size ;-)

It looks very very very good and if they are smart they will put you upfront in the video ..

Make shore you Vamp it up as much as you can at the video shoot.I want to be able to point at the screen and scream your name "Look theres kat!"
Don't let them shove you in back.. ,push all the silly little girls aside and be the center you deserve it.

Your Birthday/Xmass gift is being shipped this friday..Mahahahahahhhhhahaahaha..there is something in there for your man too..

DVD? Do you mean for the serger? I didn't use the serger on the bodice as there were no hems. I'll be using it on skirts mostly :)

Hee hee...I'll try!!

VERY excited about the mystery package!

It looks gorgeous, I can't wait to see you in the video!

Did I tell you my sister was in a music video? She was on a Roller Derby team at the time. She's the blond in the orange outfit and the sunglasses.

Another beautiful garment. You will look glorious every time you wear it. So glorious in fact that the director might push you to the back so you don't out shine everyone else. I hope you can do a full report of your video day later.
