Journey published in 2001 ISBN 0-385-48948-X. Among other things she
shoots out of the water that whole things about Louis having that

Read To Wear. I make a lot of my own clothes. In fact I'm getting to make a
wiggle dress. A lot of people in the goth and FrUiTs movement do their own
clothes. DIY clothing is really making a heavy duty stand. I just wrote a
really short blurb on it for my own zine I produce.

I would agree. Define wearable art. The DIY movement is VERY strong and VERY
mainstream. In particular among teenage girls. Just take a look at Etsy and
you'll see the demographics.

The most popular thing to make right now in the reconstruct part of DIY is
t-shirts
I'm unsure if you've seen the corset t-shirts but what they are is
essentially the body of the t-shirt intact with pieces of fabric added
either on the front or back with grommets in. Then you lace just like a
corset. Some are really wild others are the basic style. Also the old add a

I'm guessing you've never encountered the perky goth subset of goth then.
A google search should give you more than a few areas to look. As for the
Lolita's looking innocent and sweet that's the whole idea. Sweet evil and
innocent *looking*. Then you have the harajuku girls of Gwen Stefani
I didn't go that far back I was looking at 18th century. I did see the dress

What Anne so dearly longs for is leg o' mutton sleeves. Just google it.
The Anne books take place from the late 1890's all the way to 1919 with
Rilla of Ingleside so the fashions are fairly easy to figure out for these
books. I am an ardent L.M.Montgomery fan.

I have an Orek. It manages to get everything from the floor even if the belt
is broken. Which is almost all the time because I always try to fit the

in fact I have a baby dress with these sleeves and they are stupidly large.
It's as generic as it gets. I think at some point Marilla says that the
sleeve sizes are getting ridicoulous and are waste of good fabric which is
raven tresses.

I recently posted about this on my livejournal (if you are on there and want
to add me my name is Jaie up there) So I'm going to simply post what I wrote
up there as my response:

The Samantha books can be read online at project Gutenberg. You can also
find copies fairly easily online. They aren't true children's books although
they are often cited as such. They are books for young ladies. I'd say the
13 and up crowd. I assure you however that they are well before 1960 and
They have some GREAT patterns. Easy go together and so many different looks.
Certain collections are interchangable. If you want more modern stuff for
yourself or maybe a teenager they have great stuff based off people like
Stella McCartney's designs.

Of course a lot is being read into it. That's why we have this list is it
not? After all, you just read a lot into yourself, the idea of the kids
being yelled at...you're right, we can't know. But we can conjecture.

It isn't impossible. Difficult, yes. But not impossible. As any EMT worker
