Hefty garbage bag v 2.0

Posted on August 17, 2009 by Trystan
Mirror pic

Unflattering mirror pix ftw!

This time, it’s stripey! But still a big black sack! The most unattractive dress shape possible! But it’s historically accurate, it technically fits, and I’m going for it!

I can never get the hang of mirror pix, but it does look better on me than on the dressform. Marginally šŸ™‚

Just need to hem it, add a sash, and some rosettes for trim. All in the hot pink taffeta, of course (though I’m not sure if I’ll bind the hem in pink like the neck and sleeves; it’d be a nice match, but I may be too lazy).
