MeMadeMay 2019 Day 10

“MeMadeMay (2019) day 10. I missed posting this on the actual day because yesterday can eat a dick, honestly. I had an art modeling gig in the morning, taught burlesque in the evening, and had a show last night. In between those, I was either driving or desperately trying to finish costumes for my students, and the universe kept going “I don’t think you need food today.” Fortunately, I squeezed in dinner, etc. and survived to see another day.”

Lol. I have no idea what exactly I was referring to here. I mean, I definitely have some memories of being absolutely trapped in my car during this time (when Vaudezilla was moving from their old studio space into their new studio space, for example, there was one time that I had to pick up the studio feather fans from one space, where they had been used for a class, so we could rehearse with them for the show, and Belmont was all construction, all the time [AND THEY WERE REBUILDING THE ENTIRE BELMONT BLUE LINE STATION], so I was stuck on Kimball between Belmont and Irving Park for over an hour).

Also, holy Instagram Filters, Batman. But, you do actually get a pretty ok view of the dog-ear collar that this dress has. I definitely went out of my way to cut it so that there was a flower centered in each collar point. The pattern is, once again Simplicity 9800, from 1971. I remember really liking making this dress. If I wasn’t so horrifically behind in other things I want to make, I’d probably just make another one of these. It’s super easy to wear and very comfortable.
