Costume artist and online publisher. Peacock Dress] New sample, and pink feathers. Jan 10th, 2014 at 11:15 AM. The new sample from India. Photos of the sample have arrived from Indian Embroiderer mkII, and it's near-as-dammit perfect! I love that not only do the two photos above represent a very, very good approximation of the Peacock Dress itself, but that they also. I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CLONED MYSELF! Meanwhile, there is also progress on solving the mystery of the. When you look a lot more closely, it a...

Costume artist and online publisher. Peacock Dress] Quote for the embroidery received! Jan 17th, 2014 at 11:22 AM.

The quote for the embroidery, by far the most expensive and complex part of the project, arrived in my inbox. Ready for the real quote? 16 comments Leave a comment. Jan 17th, 2014 11:44 am (UTC).

[Peacock Dress] A mystery solved? - Cathy Hay's Livejournal
http://peacockdress.livejournal.com/696011.html
Costume artist and online publisher. Peacock Dress] A mystery solved? Mar 11th, 2014 at 2:59 PM. Another embroidery sample arrived from India on Friday. As I compared it to the photos of the original dress in the museum, something began to dawn on me. Isn't it funny how you can look at a thing for years and assume it was done one way, but when you put it away for a while and get it out again, a lightbulb goes on and the answer suddenly becomes clear. The pieces of the skirt would have been embroidered.

Picnic This Weekend! - Twin Cities Costumers
http://tccostumers.livejournal.com/28196.html
May 31st, 2011 12:24 pm. We'll be having our Victorian Picnic this weekend! Saturday, June 4th, 10:00 am. Just outside of downtown St. Paul. Dress from any part of the Victorian era, pack your own picnic lunch, and join us for pleasant conversation. You may want to bring along a picnic blanket since the park does not have picnic tables. In case of rain, we might try to stick to the gazebo, or if the rain is heavy, we could all meet for tea instead. (Location suggestions? 2011-06-02 04:02 pm (UTC).
