someone put this little idea into my head a couple of weeks ago, and i've been unable to get rid of it! somehow, im hoping that i can keep this up for a bit. im going to be posting images of things im working on - maybe a few thoughts or questions - and hopefully we can just have a good time.
an excercise in bias draping - i recently made two bias cut evening gowns for the opera Alcina. thanks to a helpful lesson from fellow draper lara this summer at SFO i had a few tricks up my sleeve. i think it was pretty successful. not quite sure what i would do differently - perhaps try some of the top stitching of seams that can be found in period research. if it aint broke - dont fix it, right? oh, and i'd prolly try to not use the poly - crepe backed satin - yeah.
