Christmas came early at the Atelier with the arrival of the new and updated edition of “Patterns of Fashion 2” by Janet Arnold. This book has been a staple in period dress for years but the new edition takes it even further with detailed diagrams, color pictures, and an improved layout. If you’re interested in the construction of late 19th Century garments, this is definitely the book to get. It can be ordered HERE.
G iving this extant skirt new life today and finishing a secret project this week that only Adam knows about so far. No spoilers until it’s finished! 😁
I just finished being a creative cog in a wheel of some truly talented artists and was lucky enough to try something way out of my comfort zone and got to work with some greats. This particular image isn’t from that film, but it shows how texture can be as loud as bright red, and that’s where I started designing it.
Currently I’m the Social Media Slacker, but I’ll share images once they start being posted. Don’t expect girly frills. Just sayin’. 😆
So much fun! So glad to be back. This event has always been the best way to begin the winter holidays. Thank you, Tuula Auvinen for this image ❤️
Pretty on the inside is important, I love the surprise of a pretty silk bayleuse for ballgown hems that only show while twirling on the dance floor. 😄
