Sneak preview
Aug. 18th, 2011 08:57 pmI still need to put trim around the cuffs of the sleeves, but I need to play around with them a little bit first - they're not quite even at the top and the whole thing tends to ride to one side, so one sleeve hangs lower than the other. Fiddly little problems.
Another thing I've noticed is that the waist of the skirt is a little big. Just enough so that the front of the skirt slides down a bit, making the leading edge of the skirt hem hang a bit closer to the ground. Need to either take it in a little or possibly create a button on the inside of the bustier to attach the front of the skirt to.
But I put everything that's currently done together to get a sense of how it's going to look.
The inspiration:
The creation:
Pardon the quality of the picture. My camera, which usually takes very sharp, clear pictures, has been very cranky about using the timer setting. And I don't have a good mirror to stand in front of, so I'm stuck with the temperamental timer setting on my camera.
So, credits:
The hat came from Steampunk Emporium and was altered by me.
The outfit I made, based off the Simplicity 2172 pattern but somewhat altered.
The decorative celery came from an Etsy shop called Freckledcrafts.
The necklace came from Museum Replicas and is still unfinished. But I've taken off the ugly black choker band and in this picture it's just held on with a strip of bias tape and a straight pin.
