All but trimmed

Posted on December 9, 2009 by Trystan

Eugenie jacket, belt, & skirt

Eugenie jacket, belt, & skirt

Here’s a crappy iPhone photo before I left for work…

Late that night…

The jacket and belt are wearable! No pix — it looks like this morning’s photo but with a lot of trim on it and parts that you couldn’t see were unfinished are now finished, plus there are a lot of hooks and bars inside in places. And a big, honkin’ black velvet rose in the middle. Seriously.

Still could use moar trim, specifically around the edges (front to back) of the jacket, but it is technically wearable and doesn’t look shabby right now.

Still need to figure out something for my head. If I have time Friday, I’ll run over to the costume shop; correction, I will call first and see if they have any felt bonnets for cheap. Part of me thinks I could just slap together a little velvet-covered buckram oval, edge it with ruffled lace, and stick whatever black and purple froufy bits I can find in The Stash on it (I know there’s some flowers hiding out somewhere, plus plenty of black feathers). Pin to my head and call it a cap.

Wish I knew what happened to the actual lace do-rag thingy I made for the Eugenie Project. But it went walkabout after CC26, along with all my underwear from the costume. *shakes tiny fist in sky*

To bed now!

I should have worn heels &/or more makeup, lol. But @sashavelour’s show at the Berkeley Rep was magnificent! Funny, smart, thinky, sassy, everything I needed. This week needs more sparkle! I’m slowly unpacking from my trips & the 1st things out were these fun buys from Du Barry Fashions in Las Vegas. Purple glittery leggings, a pink rhinestone pill case, a tiny tiara to top a wig, & some cool deco-esque earrings. Forgot to post this costume earlier — I wore this skull-print jacket (made from a tablecloth), plus a new purple hat, at our chateau last week. Look where I get to stay this week! @maisondechastenay has this beautiful room for me with cat pillows on the bed 😻 The house is beautiful & I’m amazed at the work @lisavandenberghe has put in to make this such a charming & comfortable B&B. Hanging out with my bestie at another 18th-century party in France! Yesterday was hot & humid at Vaux le Vicomte, but @fannywilk’s pink apero party was delightful! Spooky sunset shenanigans in the chateau’s upper story. Just a little walk around our chateau yesterday! Brunch al fresco at the Donjon!
