Before you contact me,
here are some answers to possible questions I've heard...


Email: Did you know that you did XYZ wrong / inaccurately in that outfit?
TLB: Well, I probably mentioned the level of reproduction I was aiming for in the dress diary. So yeah, I know and unless you have some fascinating original research on the matter (that is, you're not just pointing out Janet Arnold or similar), I'm not all that interested in hashing over the details. Except over cocktails if you're buying :-)

Email: Where did you find that fabric / trim / feather / etc.?
TLB: If it's not mentioned in the dress diary, then I have most likely forgotten where I found something. Materials often mature in The Stash for many years before I use them, so I loose track of exactly where I purchased an item. However, I don't have access to any exotic resources -- I do most of my shopping at Jo-Ann's Fabrics and on eBay and through sites listed at FabricWhore. I do make an annual trip to the L.A. Garment District for splurges.

Email: Will you make a costume for me?
TLB: No, sorry, I don't sew for other people. If you read my dress diaries carefully, you'll notice that I barely sew for myself ;-). I have very little time after work, and I am the World's Slowest Sewer, so I have a hard time completing any of my own projects.

Email: Can I link to your site?
TLB: You bet! Thanks! No need for further permission, though please don't copy my images (y'know, especially not the ones with me in them, because that would be creepy).

Email: Where can I find you online?
TLB: I'm everywhere, mwahahahahaha! No, seriously, I am, 24/7 for work and for play (find out more). But really, all the pretty stuff is on this site, and the rest is just daily blabbing for friends.


Can I contact you about something not covered here?
OK, but be forewarned, I am really slow to reply. Even to my mom (sorry, Mom!).
