Professor Trelawney Planning
Mar. 15th, 2015 09:42 pmI saw Cinderella today! It had lovely costumes, though they were such a random range of styles - everything from 18th c livery to 1950s sweaters. Still very pretty, though.
After Cinderella, I picked up some cotton to start on my artistic reform Professor Trelawney for the CosCol Ice Cream Social. Unfortunately, I don't think I got enough, but maybe I can make it work! I'm going to do a smocked dress with a sleeveless hooded over-robe. With the amount of fabric I have currently, I would only be able to do two widths (so like about 80-90") - is that enough if I want to do all that smocking? I had originally thought three panels would be best. But that means I have to keep my fingers crossed that the next time Joanns gets the cotton in, the dye lot will be the same.
These are my two favorite inspiration pieces for the dress: I'm definitely doing sleeves similar to those on the blouse, but I think the waist and neckline will be a little closer to the dress.
I've decided to make the robe out of some drapes I picked up at a garage sale. They're purple-shot mauve, with little flowers embroidered on them. Pretty sure they're all poly, but since this is a more costumey costume, I don't really care. Here's a couple pics of the fabrics draped on Antoinette: The color of the green is more mossy, like what's near the hem or neckline, and the color truest to the mauve on here is the fabric on the left side of the first pic.
