Hi Everyone, I am a new member to the group. I am a stitcher/costumer working in the Chicago area. Can anyone tell me how I can get my name out there as a seamstress? I'd like to join a group of folks who would need my wicked good sewing skills. Thank you in advance for your help. Patty In a message dated 3/13/2012 8:27:19 A.M.

The draped fabrics for an 1910s dress for the Portland vampire masquarade ball - the friday event most likely. It's dark red silk with a black silk gauze overlay and accents of dark gold. As soon as I take my final - I get to start cutting.

I got a beautiful Indian embroidered & beaded belly-dancing costume in the French Quarter of New Orleans. I also picked up some great hand painted masks in the Quarter. Another one of my ladies is wearing my evening gown from a Mardi Gras ball...my treasure find in Mobile was an evening bag that is completely fringed Mardi Gras colored beads...gold, green, & purple set upon gold satin. It went to the ball with me. The bag is so cute that I used it when we went to see The Lion King last week. BTW, I found the costume mecca at the French Quarter on Mardi Gras Day. We went to the Zulu Parade and then headed into the Quarter. OMG! The costumes were to die for!!! 85% of the people were in costume. We caught the Bourbon St. Awards...a costume contest. Most of these costumes were 12 ft high. I did catch the St. Anne's procession through the French Quarter. If you have Facebook, you can see some of my photos here: Bourbon St. Awards: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.344713802240038.82637.1074984159615 79&type=3 Costumes around the French Quarter: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.344555255589226.82596.1074984159615 79&type=3 Enjoy!

There are four other figures included in different outfits.
