An exciting update on an old friend

Remember the SUPER AWESOME GOLDFISH SUIT?  

Guess what!?

 

It has matching gloves!!! Also, of course, handmade!!  Oh happy day!!

Gingham apron-palooza

A couple of classic gingham aprons, trimmed in embroidered rick-rack.  All time favorite combo.

 

Strawberry shirt

Come for the rick-rack, stay for the strawberries.  Super adorable. 

 

 

 

The skunk skirt

You've heard of the poodle skirt, but have you heard of its lesser known cousin, the skunk skirt? 

 No? 

 I hadn't either, until...

Super adorable, right?  A skunk with flowers? How can you beat that!?

Sunrise over the rolling hills

Sometimes you're shopping for a show that you're designing costumes for -- desperately searching for a 1970s denim wrap-around skirt.  Ask and ye shall receive.  I was innocently browsing while one of the folks was restocking and as he was hanging this up, I caught a glimpse and gasped a gasp that rang through the calico hillside.  

 Behold:

A rick-rack sunrise over calico hills.  Bet you've never seen THAT before.

I wish I had captured a better photo of the magic of this skirt, but I was trying to be quick about it and the lighting wasn't the best. This skirt weighs a ton -- that is a boatload of rick-rack.  Sadly, this was more or less the exact skirt I was looking for and, for the first time ever, lamented it's generous application trim.  Alas...the search continues.
