Foresleeves and a distraction

[mandie_rw]

Still ignoring the farthingale problem. Can't make me work on it! :P I will very likely ignore it until I can't get any further on the outfit without fixing it. Finshed sewing all the sparkly bits, pearls, and trim to the right foresleeve, and started on the left.

While watching Game of Thrones. I'm always the last one to the party with these kinds of things, I swear. Just yesterday I swore I was enjoying it, but wasn't obsessed with it...and today at work, somehow all I could think about was making a dress from it! Oops. (Don't worry, not til after K Parr's done.) I love all the King's Landing dresses I've seen made on here and elsewhere, they're beautiful, but I think I want a dress from the North. Much duller colors and rougher materials, but, I dunno, right now they call to me! I like the cold, what can I say.

I'm still only on Season 1, so I reserve the right to change my mind if I fall in love with another gown somewhere down the line. But a Winterfell dress would be very convenient, as I have almost all the materials for one - wool, linen, and more wool! Just maybe some darker fur for the cloak. And the timing would be good, to have it made in time for the snow, to take pretty pictures! So...stay tuned for some Game of Thrones costuming in mid-October. :D

Welcome to the GoT madness! I'm doing a Catelyn Stark fishie dress. (The blue damask one with trout on the collar)

Can't wait to see what you do!

Fishie dress! And hooray, company in the North! Those Southerners, with their warm weather and all... *gives them the side-eye* ;)

Woo hoo! GoT!! I think it's cool you want to make a northern gown, that are beautiful too but in a more subdued way.

It will probably be a while before I can sew after my surgery but my head is filled with plans for my next Cersei gown.

For some reason I'm really feeling the snuggly furs and wools at the moment! Clearly I'm over summer, haha. And I can't wait to see how that Cersei gown of yours comes together!

I knoooooow. I went really, really quickly from "It's a good show" to " OMG MUST. HAVE. DRESS. NOW.", hahaha. The kool-aid tastes so good! xD

Game of Thrones, yes!!!! A Winterfell dress would be so pretty, and go with the late fall/early winter weather as well!

Granted, I have NO idea where I'll actually wear a GoT dress, but seeing as that's never stopped me before, haha...it'll make for very nice pictures, anyway!
