Masquerade gown
Nov. 22nd, 2007 11:32 pmI'm debating whether or not I want to take pics of my masquerade gown on the manni and post them before the event. I think for once, I will wait and post pics of me in the outfit on Saturday. Keep y'all in suspense for once!
Anyway, since I didn't have to cook much (just some yummy appetizers), I was able to finish the "Vegas Showgirl Silver Lame Overskirt ' today. I took a shortcut: I didn't hem my ruffles; just pinked 'em (yeah, like that will stop the tissue lame from unraveling. I have evidence all over the house of how successful THAT plan was! Bits 'o sparkle everywhere. I think the cats will be pooping lame for a week.)
Jason actually requested a mask! Good thing as I had bought supplies to make one for each of us. Still, that surprised and delighted me. Anyway, I used the silver tissue lame on the bias, some spray glue, and raided my trim bag for decorations. He'll be wearing the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kambriel outfit we had commissioned two years ago, so I made him a matching mask of silver with black braided trim. Mine is silver with white lace trim, a few rhinestones, and white ribbon bows.
The over skirt is very simple - just the ruffle on the hem both front and back, and a bow here and there. I did put it up on the manni to see how it would look, and when I turned out the lights, the effect was great. The white and silver together with the silver glitter bird and rhinestone jewelry looks great in the dark. It almost glows :)
My pinot grigio is taking effect, so I'm going to go relax now.
