So yesterday and today have been spent cleaning house and working on Melanie's outfit! All that remains is hand work, which is the best part for me. I love curling up on the couch with a needle and a project. I'm taking a break now to post some updates!
Here is the corset nearly finished! It is a custom drafted up pattern based off of a costume from Legend of the Seeker but I changed some things about it. I added in a lacing panel to make it a bit more modest and comfortable, at Melanie's request. I hope she likes it! :)
I'm actually really liking crocheted doilies for corset appliques... I may have to go stock up and release a design that uses them ;)
My next order (the check is in the mail! :)) is a wedding dress for a friend. She came up with the concept and I sketched it out so I could get her approval on how I imagined it. So far so good! The idea is for the gown to be long and elegant with a slight train for the ceremony, then for the reception, to cinch the skirt up for a bustled, more cocktail dress look. She wants the dress made out of a silver satin and as soon her check arrives, I will be purchasing the material from Denverfabrics.com.
I'm meeting with a few people on wednesday to discuss various things: my first appointment is for alterations on a Tuxedo jacket, I'm meeting with a potential model, and also meeting with a friend who is interested in purchasing a corset. I like being busy!
I'm also trying to organize a photoshoot next week for my website. I have some models lined up, as well as a location, but finding a date and time is proving to be something difficult, but that is okay. It will work out! The location I have lined up is located at the Hellgate Rollergirls practice warehouse. I wanted something urban and open for the bulk of my designs, but I may schedule another in a park or possibly cemetary (still a goth at heart) for other designs.
