Re: Oscar Fashion 2011
My impression of the 'gowns' on the appearing actors, were lacking something.Perhaps a little more fabric would be in order.Many viewers are female, and we are not interested in seeing almost of these women's assets flounced in our faces.
posted: 7:36 pm on March 4thI dont even remember the faces of some of the more extreme costumes!
Why do these women let the bosses(men, obviously) dictate what they 'Must'wear?
If anyone is interested, the more subtle designers, may even be more generous with their time and talent.
I thought the only acceptable gown was the one worn be Helen Mirren!
Perhaps the stars' would not have stumbled as much if there were more fabric on the top intead of the bottom of the 'costumes"-'
Thank you
Re: What is Your Level of Sewing Expertise?
I have sewed , from necessity for 56 years.My first machine was a treadle that belonged to my grandmother.Next I bought a New Home electric with knee pedal.
posted: 7:53 pm on July 13thI dressed my daughters, and now my grandaughters.
The oldest is studying 'Apparel Design and Textiles" at a state University.
I am very proud of having been the inspiration for two excellent seamstresses.I make quilts, as gifts only.I like to hand-quilt the finished cover.And make the quilt cozy with high-loft inner-lining.
Recently, I acquired a dress form, in order to now creat clothes for myself.I look forward to continuing my education,
in sewing and creating.
