🌈 WELL SUGARS, MAYBE IT’S TIME TO SHOW SOME CLOTHES ON A BALCONY. MERVEILLEUX DESSIN !

leste elle s’offrait
à toutes les surfaces
aux rêches comme aux tendres
et au bois comme à l’air
Tandis qu’elle faisait courbe
dans ses couleurs de jour
tandis qu’elle faisait danse
dans ses couleurs d’amour.

Haut perchoir
Le vertige, accrochée à la rampe
Tenir
l’habit, l’enveloppe
décrivant l’extérieur d’une courbe
Figée dans l’impatience.

Approchez!
Dehors, elle prend un air ambiant.
La retient de pleurer
Renifle
Tourmente le silence
d’un regard qui plonge.

How I use a book from WWII and New York fabric scraps to create one-of-a-kind lingerie.
👵🏻 HI SISTERS! TODAY WE HAVE A HAPPY CASE. WHEN A GRANNY PROMOTES AN ARTIST
When I was 13 I decided I wanted to be a fashion designer (my parents disputed, and wanted me to go into Science). So my grandmother gifted me a booklet of notes from a tailoring class she had done in the 60s, a book, and an expandable mannequin. Thanks to Grannie, 27 years later, I’m a New York based Costume designer!
Black & white pictures of vintage lingerie. From “Everyday fashions of the thirties” as pictured in Sears catalog (Dover)
The Fabric
Most of the fabrics that I use for tap pants and camisoles (a.k.a. kinickers) are left over gems from New York theatre shows. Either:
- there wasn’t enough for an entire costume and so it was gifted to the costume shop employees
- or I was designing a show and had tiny pieces of fabric that were too small for anything but knickers.
I choose to pass on the savings…

The Best Linen And Cambric For Her Underclothing
👰🏼 HELLO DEARS, IT’S TIME FOR A GREAT PASTEL WORK AND A NICE WEDDING STORY.
Middlemarch by George Eliot (or rather by Mary Ann Evans writing under that pseudonym) was published in 1871/2 and is about the lives of characters in a fictional English Midlands town. There’s a lot of focus on marriage, family, courtship, hypocrisy and disgrace, and it’s generally considered her best work, but today I’m just going to talk about knickers.
Rosamond Vincy is a young woman who is well educated and stunningly beautiful, but is ambitious and therefore certainly not the heroine of our tale. She can also be described as vain and shallow, far more interested in social niceties and improving her standard of living than actual emotions.
She decides that she is going to marry the handsome town doctor – and he falls in love with her, of course, and proposes.
But there’s a problem – despite his initial agreement, Rosamond’s father decides to revoke his consent to the…

Two weavings
🧵🧷🧶 HELLO DARLINGS! I CLAIM WEAVING IN THE MUSEUMS
“What are you up to today?” friends often ask. I usually respond “not much”, or “nothing new” or “groundhog day”. For some odd reason, it feels like nothing. But it’s the tick tick tick of moments, a stitch by stitch process, a needle by needle momentum. This small purple piece was begun as my mother was dying. It was a tick, tick, of a heart. It was finished after she died. After her last tick. Tick. Tick. Time. Passing. Passing. Gone.

Simplicity 8231: Mississippi Avenue Dress in Yellow Chambray
🤷 WELL SISTERS, TODAY THIS DRESS DON’T NEED EXPLANATION. YOU CAN LOVE IT OR HATE IT.
Simplicity 8231 is a pattern in collaboration with Sew House Seven. It’s also called the Mississippi Avenue Dress. It is described as an elastic waist dress which features a V-neckline with the option of over-the-knee or midi lengths as well as a cap sleeve or sleeveless with shoulder ties.
I made the sleeveless dress with the shoulder ties. It was the perfect addition to my April sundress theme. I was planning to use a rayon type of fabric which is a little more flowy but instead decided on a chambray fabric. I’m really glad I made that decision because it turned out great! It’s a yellowish gold chambray that I purchased in 2016 from Fabric.com. I finally found the perfect project for it. Fabric hoarders unite!
I enjoyed the construction of this dress. It came together so smoothly. I was actually in shock at how easy it was to put…
