Oooh yes thanks for the tip about the pale makeup. My skin was bleached at birth so I've always been quite unnaturally pale (especially considering my dad's family has Aboriginal in them!) though I feel quite tanned compared to you! I've got too many freckles from being sunburnt (makes me wish...
Thank you! Yes I did make it! It's my pride and joy, as I managed it in about 5 days!! I'd actually found the fabric back in December last year, and bought the whole roll of it (10m) not knowing how much I would need for the dress. I found a beautiful fashion plate which inspired my jacket (I...
Thanks Lauren that's really helpful! I'm hopefully going to be studying sewing and textiles at TAFE next year, so I expect I'll be learning all these things.

I've made a couple of 50's dresses, worn to a few ACG...
hmmm I'm really loving this discussion!
I was also thinking about the whole price thing (though sometimes it's hard because I can kinda guess the US-Aus dollar thing but Pound-AUS is a bit harder!!), and thinking about the difficulty in making a day dress. It seems that pretty much everyone...
As a seamstress (who is planning on having her own fashion label and store) it's really interested to read what everyone is saying!
I couldn't agree more with everything! I have quite a few cotton prints stashed away with the intentions of becoming cute day dresses. I also want to make a few...
Hello all! My name is Abi, I'm from Brisbane, Australia. I was introduced to this forum by Kitty_M, who I'm in the Australian Costumer's Guild with.
I've always loved 50's clothing, and I've recently also fallen in love with 30's and 40's. I've got a couple of 50's outfits, including a dress...
