Interesting Goodwill Find

LOOKIE!!!


























But first------->



OMG I FOUND IT!!!! I WENT BACK AND ACTUALLY FOUND IT!!!!!



I went back to Goodwill yesterday, just as a quick stop form work and I though, "Okay, Holly. Just look. A twenty minute jaunt through the sheets and curtains and then put it out of your mind."

And BOOM! Right on the end of the rack. The sari I had put back and mourned over.



Buhahahahahahahahaha!

Now I have four. :)

I'm actually going to cut this one first, because its not too dear and also more opaque than the others. 

In other news. 

Look what I found:  








I don't know it looks a little Vampire Bride to me.... 

Ve Vank to Suck Your....Pepsi ;)
But in a 1960's way. So mybe....?



You know her dress is pink? It really is.

Anyway, I have no clue what to do with it but I couldn't pass it up, not at half price.


Cuz I uh... I have a problem.

Spring/Summer Wardrobe, Shorts Plan

Image
                    I am attempting to combine my love of easy wear stuff, with my love of vintage. Also, I need to start dressing to make myself happy, not just grab whatever is clean and feel like blarg. In effort to complete this task, I am making shorts! There are two kinds of shorts that I am interested in. High waisted shorts.  -and Flared Shorts: Now, I do feel these are a bit, uh short. Ironically. Which is why I wont be buying from Unique Vintage for my short needs. Ill being sewing them.  (Note, I bought ALL my capris from Unique Vintage, I love them. Review to come) Ive got a couple patterns that Im looking at. The definite ones are Simplicity 3688, and Butterick 5895.   Other ideas are as follows::  As for fabrics, this will be a stashbuster. I have linen in the following colors: Beige with thin black checker board, black, purple, teal, red and beige plain. I also have thin blue denim and a selection of cotton fabrics

Ariel Pink Dress Tutorial Part One

Image
Okay. So. I know there's been some issue with Ariels pink dress. A lot of very influential bloggers have stated they dislike it. Red hair, it is commonly known, does not make good bed partners with the color pink. Brichan, my very favorite artist has even made a most amusing picture -> http://briannacherrygarcia.deviantart.com/art/pink-makes-ariel-cry-52697915 Which, by the by is HILARIOUS. So many cosplayers have seen and posed in this way because Bri is like a demi-god in the Disney world. She deserves that status believe you me. Anyway, for my part, I've never seen anything offensive about the gown. In fact, it is my favorite Disney Princess dress. I can recall the scene perfectly, where Ariel steps out from the shadows and into the light, modest and eager, and Erik is all like; DAYUM. Anyway, bottom line. I want to make some Princess getups for myself and this is at the top of my list for being my favorite Disney Dress. HERE BE THE TUTORIAL?WALKTHROUGH?

Truly Victorian Edwardian Underpinnings; TVE02

Image
Ok, I must admit. I am bitten by the Gothic Romantic Bug. Typically this leans a bit toward Victorian, however, with the decadent costumes of Crimson Peak I couldn't help myself. It was hard too, because I have bits and bobs for white, cream and ecru, enough to make plenty of white, sensible Edwardian undies with no issues and no further money spent. And I was gonna do it too, I was going to lock my inner 14 year old crying for goth ways in her room and sew with what I HAD.  Um.  For Christmas I got a 35 dollar gift card for JoAnns, and while there I found this. One dollar a yard. Six yards on the role.  OH COME ON!!! So off I went, digging through my gargantuan stash. I know I have enough black to kit together a decent mourning undie set, I KNOW it. Just took some looking. I found about four yards of black cotton, and a thin, mystery poly slightly shiny? Also a thin black fabric, kinda like a super thin gabardine? Lastly I found three rolls of smaller
