added to the listing of things I might, someday, perhaps, when I get around to it, sew: this gown (or one extremely much like it, thinking about I don’t own this pattern as well as instead googled for something to utilize as an example of the type of thing I’m speaking about.) click on the picture to go to the site, sensibility.com, which has a great deal of lovely pattern images.
Anyway, you may ask, what brought this on? I bought a couple lawns of grass eco-friendly cotton satin material yesterday, that’s what, down at Paron’s on 40th St. They commonly have bolt-ends that they offer at $2/yard, as well as I am constitutionally incapable of passing up $2/yard fabric. I’m likewise invariably drawn to grass green, so my having this material was more or less foreordained. I don’t like to spend a great deal on cotton satin, since it shows every bit area as well as I’m the type of person who gestures wildly with a fork to make some extremely important point about something or other as well as spatters myself with salad dressing. So there are a great deal of bit areas to show. This stuff is niiiiiice (it’s leftovers from a Chaiken collection) as well as I was believing (since I didn’t have a sufficient for a circle skirt, more’s the pity) that it would comprise well as a chinoiserie-ish gown with (probably) pink satin collar piping.
The only drawback of a gown such as this one is NO POCKETS. The very first person to solve this problem for me will get the gown A Day Pocket prize for service to Humanity.
