And I give you... the finished product.

[eirenical]

And the dress is finally finished and had its first outing. It was so much fun to wear! A few tweeks to come if I decide to make another one, but... *shrugs* You live, you learn, right? ^_^

	And here it is in all its fall patchworky glory. ^_^ The finished dress. It was so much fun to wear and was a big hit at the BBQ/picnic. ^_^ Thanks to msorange21 for taking the pictures! :D
	And here's the back with its corset lacing. And a huge thank you to my friend Christine for telling me that I would need boning in the back of the dress to stabilize the lacing! ^_^

And in other news, I was visiting one of my favorite little shops (East Coast Psychedelics) and talking to the girl who works there about sewing and such... and she offered that if I made anything and wanted to sell it, she'd be happy to give me space on the racks. O_O How awesome would that potentially be? ^_^ We'll have to see. *eg* Who knows? Could end up with a new career out of this. ^_^

^_^ I'm glad you like it! ^_^

*poke* And randomly... we really should get together again sometime. ^_^

absolutely we should!

:D Yay! :D

Do you want to do another show? Or just get together and hang out?

I would be up for whatever as long as it is on the cheap side of the spectrum. I probably won't be able to get together until later in the month though. I'm working long sweaty field days currently, this weekend I'm headed to Ohio for four days, then next weekend I have family in town, but after that I'll be back on a more normal work schedule AND have free weekends and we should absolutely make some kind of plans!

*eg* I don't suppose you'd be up for a trip to New Haven, Connecticut on the 22nd, 23rd or 24th, would you? ^_______________^ OK, that's a little more expensive, but it is 2 months away... *waggles eyebrows*

I only have classes Tuesday-Thursday and I'm busy Monday night, but otherwise, my weekends are pretty clear. We could hit an off-Broadway show or just meet in the city and wander Central Park or something. Or for that matter, you're welcome to come visit and just hang out. ^_^ Whatever works!

wait, what's in New Haven? Hair tour? that's starting in October already? I'm out of the loop. I would maybe be up for that depending on ticket prices, actually! And New Haven isn't THAT far (as long as I-95 cooperates anyway)

Re: And I give you... the finished product.

*squee* OMG, really??? Tickets are about $70, IIRC. Most of the premium seats are already taken (at least for the Sat/Sun performances), next step down was $68 (plus fees, I'm sure. :-P). We could totally meet there, or you could stop at my place (LI) and we could drive out together. :D Road trip!!

And besides, it's our solemn duty to feed the plot bunnies, isn't it? I've noticed a severe lack of fic lately... from both of us. :-P *stares down her own plot bunnies*

*coughs* And in case you missed it in the babbling, yes, New Haven is the start of the Hair tour -- I know nothing about the cast other than that Josh Lamon is Margaret Mead. No one else is talking, yet. :-P I assume no Gavin or Will, though. :(

I can't commit yet, but give me like a week and I'll let you know. I'm definitely interested, though!

Re: And I give you... the finished product.

[rchan.livejournal.com]

Yes!! :D That would be so awesome!

The sooner you can let me know, the better, though. Seats seem to be going awfully fast. O_O;;;

Cool dress! You did a really good job on it, too. If you wake up and it's gone you'll know I flew to California and stole it from you in the night. :D

*Beams* *tail wag* Thank you, Seimei! I'm honored that you think it's worth stealing... but you won't find it in CA. *eg* I live on the other coast, remember? ^_~ As mentioned, though, once I get a little better at this, I would totally be willing to make you something. ^_^
