GBACG MadMen

I didn't actually take my camera with me to this event. The best photos from the event can Be seen in The GBACG Flickr pool: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dancingisland/5123722868/in/pool-gbacg#/photos/dancingisland/5123722868/in/pool-691101@N21/ The photos are not in a designated set, so I linked to the first one.

I wore my madmen dress, some vintage style seamed stockings and "vintage" looking flats. I also managed to briefly get my hair into a pouf-esque creation before the walk in the rain and hour and a half steamy bus ride killed it :(

And DONE!

I have officially Finished the Mad Men and the Army Girl dress. These are the two dress designs I had to make to pass into the next sections of my pattern making course. I tried them on in class, had them approved by my teacher and have gotten my new assignment-pockets leading into pants.

I really wish I wasn't making the "gah I have allergies" face in this pic.

I have more information about the two dresses, and more pictures under the ( cut. )

Also, the vote for my jacket has reached 39 votes, um, I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Railway Cars and MadMen.

Yesterday I managed to make it out to Santa Rosa for the 3rd annual Hand Car Regatta. It was VERY not 99 Degrees? But also insanely fun. (http://handcar-regatta.com/) Sadly I did not have my camera with me, So no pictures :( One of my friends was working a booth, and another was actually in the race with his uncle. I think their car was the Cyclone Speeder?

I was good and only bought one thing, the world tiniest hat! It's mounted onto a fancy hairpin.

I'v made a little progress on the Army Girl dress, mainly the massive amount of piping.

I also started working on my dress for the GBACG MadMen Event: http://www.gbacg.org/current/mad-men-cocktails.html I'm using the same pattern as the army girl dress, but with a pencil skirt instead of a flared one. ( Photos )
