Sometimes we get so wrapped up in constructing a dress that we fail to see how the final product will look on a live person. Early in 2024, I began construction of a simple 1880s day dress that I created to be used as part of our film wardrobe and finally, it was used in a production of the short film, “The Seamstress” which should be released sometime in 2025. Below are some views of the final dress:
And some construction views:
Pulling three more racks of clothes for the next job to join the two that are already at No. 11, and more on Monday. Leaving Wednesday am for three weeks in different locations in Southeast Arizona; Adam will fly out to join and help wrap on the 24th. Townspeople (fashionable and not), saloon types, rough ranchers, lawmen…and hoping to style a few lovely *non feathered* saloon girls. Prepared with petticoats. More is better.
Apres-Helldorado Malaise. Chaos, Chick Food, Christmas movies and of course…sewing. Avert your eyes if extreme girliness offends. Time to get ready for the film shoot…
The party’s over. Had a nice walk home and now…work begins. Missing Adam and Little Dog Tribe! Mr. Lid flies in on Tuesday so I need to clean this house because you know…dust.
Helldorado 2024 Diary, Day Two. Coffee musings: Parisian cotton/silk or vintage dotted suit? I realize the fate of the world doesn’t rest on this decision…but heck–this is my job.
