Re: [h-cost] Queen Maud's wardrobe
I?am ernestly hoping to see if I can get some of this work up on line...not my forte but maybe with some help from a techie. I had an exhibit "Cut Down To Size 2"at a small gallery the month of December.? "...Size" was two years ago.? This recent show included the models who wear garments from the theme"The Bifurcation of American Fashion...1800-1940". In retirement, I find there are so many periods of history that I did not get to do on stage or otherwise and can now employ my time in research and the cutting table in bringing such fashion to 3D delight. -Original Message- From: "Heather Rose Jones" Sent 1/2/2011 6:28:40 PM To: "Historical Costume" Subject: Re: [h-cost] Queen Maud's wardrobeOn Jan 2, 2011, at 11:13 AM, Emily Gilbert wrote: > Ooh, post a picture when you're done - and pictures of the other gowns, too! > I think the concept of making doll-size historical costumes is really > interesting.

Yup -- although the thrums are sewn into a fabric base rather than it being a manipulated-thread base. One of the advantages of doing the doll-sized replicas is that I can do some fairly labor-intensive techniques without it taking forever.

Those are so cute! Is that a little thrum cap on the Trindhoj Man?

Ooh, post a picture when you're done - and pictures of the other gowns, too! I think the concept of making doll-size historical costumes is really interesting.

This is the fourth major gown from S&S I have produced for Maud. "She" is very pleased with my efforts and is constantly asking for more.?
