In Which We Begin Our Blog!

Hello!

Welcome to our blog! We are Kat and Thera and we are embarking on a Halloween costuming adventure of epic proportions! Well Kat is at least. We hit up a lovely discount fabric shop in Boston's garment district this afternoon where Kat walked away with 13.5 (!) yards of fabric. 
So what is this project you ask?

Well Kathryn has decided to make the dress of King Henry VIII's ill-fated 2nd wife, Anne Boleyn. And Thera is recreating the gown worn by Rose as the Titanic is sinking. Pleasant stuff right?! :)


We're very excited about it anyway. Clearly excited enough to begin this blog.

Here's what we're working off:

This is one of the paintings done of the actual Anne Boleyn. Kat decided against the fur...

And here is the pattern she will be using. :)

Thera has found the Costumer's Guide to be most helpful in the planning process of her costume. They research and collect images of really costume-y movie costumes. Here's the link! http://www.costumersguide.com/

This is the dress she's making. Off this pattern:

Their website is here: http://sensibility.com/patterns/1910s-tea-gown-pattern/

And thus we move from planning to creating! :)

Kat and her fabric!

OMG black fabric!

hehehe kinda what it will look like... sorta. In an not-sewn way. :)

Thera and her slightly more compact fabric. :) Loving the lavender!

That's all for now! We begin cutting and what not on Thursday. Wish us luck!

Cheers!
