Mine, currently, and for months, has a green silk panniered gown on it, minus all the furbelows. I can't decide how to embellish it--ruffles? lace? bows? Siobhan Dulles, VA ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

The 'dummy' I am working with this week is for a 20 model, seated. The project is an interpretation of Queen Victoria's portrait in the Diamond Jubilee gallery.? Black satin with antique lace overlay...even have a small piece of Honiton to use.? Researching the Crown was lots of fun...didn't know there was so many resources for this online. The model is dated 1984 and dour enough to be just right.

Not Titanic, obviously, but the Great War era has been attracting my resear ch lately.? Hopefully I won't be too distracted by the Fabulous crochet p atterns of the era. Also working on a FFF Show entry, which I haven't said yet I'll enter, but I don't want to promise what I may not deliver. :( Ann in CT From: seamst...@juno.com seamst...@juno.com I'm currently working on a 1910's suit (lot of that going around!) for a Ti tanic memorial tea party in April. I have completed the hankercheif linen s hirtwaist with lace insertions and am now on to making the suit itself whic h is a blush/cream herringbone in a silk/cotton blend.?

Mine is wearing a hunter green cashmere coat from a Vogue Designer pattern that needs, hems, cuffs and a final pressing. There is no hope I'll have it done for this winter. Maybe next... She's also wearing my houseguest's jacket hat. --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com -- Original Message -- From: Cin cinbar...@gmail.com To: H-costume h-cost...@indra.com Subject: [h-cost] What's your dressmaker's dummy wearing today? Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2012 18:27:52 -0700 It's that time of year when the calendar is full of spring teas, summer holidays, Titanic era parties, winter balls, company dinners, the spring theater season, LARP goodness. You might even be planning a sojourn to thrilling foreign locale. Whatever the reason, h-costumers are probably making something.
