The New Year is Upon Us :)

It is simply astounding how quickly time can pass without you realising it… I only have 4 months of school left and no "real" classes anymore.  It still seems like just a few months ago that I started post-secondary and yet it is almost at an end.

University has been a very eye opening experience that I will not soon forget.  Now all I have left are my intensives which are going to be a lot of fun :)

First up, starting on the 7th, is CORSETRY ^_^
This was one of the BIG things that drew me to this entire course, I have always loved corsets and now I have to decide on the time period of the corset I am going to make.

I have narrowed it down to Mid-to-Late Victorian or Late Edwardian.  I am having trouble deciding because I have many gowns that I want to make from both time periods.


And in other news… my Christmas break has been lovely and I am really looking forward to spending New Years with my family :D


And although this doesn't technically count as a costume…
This is a little something I have been working on the past couple days.

If you don't know by now, I just kinda love Beauty and the Beast… just kinda :P

Happy Belated Halloween

Hello

It has been far to long since I posted anything, but alas life and been busy and time has been short.

Here is a picture of the finished Sleeping Beauty dress for my niece and the Cinderella dress on my other niece

Lovely <3

I am starting a ½ scale reproduction in about 2 weeks so I will try to post pictures as I sew along.

The gown I am reproducing is an 1868 French Court dress worn by a Wealthy American Lady upon her introduction to Napoleon the 3rd's Court.

Here is a picture

Happy Valentines

I hope Everyone is having a wonderful day

I finally have a photo of the fabric for the dress I am making for my niece, and here it is :)

Past Costumes

This costumes below are dresses that I made to feed my love on Most things D*sney ;)

Belle has always been my Favourite Princess and it was so much fun to finally wear a couple of her outfits. I hope eventually sew all her dresses from the movie.

The photographer for both of the shoots is a good friend of mine

Blue Peasant Dress ^.^

The Gold BallGown

The Castle I used for the Photoshoot is Hatley Castle on Vancouver Island.

Cinderella's BallGown.

I made this for my niece for her 4th Birthday

Cinderella is her favourite Princess ^_-

This dress looks so much better when she is wearing it.

2 of my nieces, aren't they Adorable ^_^

(I didn't make the pumpkin costume but it really works with the story)
