Pattern Faux Pas...

Alrighty, for anyone in need and not already aware... Today through Sunday, Hancock Fabrics has all Butterick Patterns on sale for 99c each. I'm going through, making a list, checking it twice, gonna fine out who's... wait, wrong season. So anyway, I intend to gain two "historical" victorian patterns for fun and one men's pattern that is suitable for a Dickens production, a Regency Ball and alterable for a Sweeney Todd outfit all in one.

Now, the limit on the sale is 10 patterns, and I've selected only 3 - so I figured I should make sure there's nothing else that I'd want. That's when I came across this....

While the dress is super cute, it makes me wonder A) if I make the formal version, so I have to run around smalling my armpit all night? and B) just WHAT was the artist thinking? I know they used to design pattern covers with each model-damsel in a different little vignette, but I can't figure this one out... "'Oh Lord,' thought Lillian, 'there goes Babs, repulsed from three feet away! Time for a pit check because if it was my BO, then I'll be a social outcast for the rest of Highschool!' " ......???

Ah well.

Regency me...

Ooh fun! My friend Joanna just sent this to me.... apparently my back is featured prominently. I was blissfully unaware that I was even being filmed, but I enter from the left, in a white dress & beehive-ish hairdo, dancing with a blonde woman wearing a green & white dress. It's easiest viewed full-screen. Goody!








Ah, and here's a better view of my back - not quite so fuzzy and half-cut-off.
