You did a *beautiful* job and I love the sleeves. I'm especially nuts about the fabric, it's absolutely luscious! I think your hairstyle matches the outfit perfectly.

I miss sewing, I used to do a lot of it (I used to deisgn and make a lot of my clothes when I was a teenager but I got more into impressionist and watercolor quilting in my later years). But hey, with all these hairsticks to make, who has time? I don't even have a working sewing machine anymore and don't have the time to dedicate to sewing to justify the extreme expense of buying a good quality new one. I'd also *love* to get into machine knitting, but I want one of those machines that allow you to design on the 'puter and then just have it knit your pattern for you ;)

Thanks so much guys.

I find it rather funny that I posted pictures with the intent of discussing the hair, and I'm getting more compliments on the dress! *LOL*

I have made other things as well, which can be found on my costuming page:
http://www.geocities.com/highlandmedic/costumes.htm

I plan on making another dress in the near future, one that is longer in length, from the new Simplicity pattern inspired by the Lord of the Rings stuff.

I enjoy costuming alot actually, just something about sewing together a pattern is just not as satisfying as naything else, espcially when you have a great fabric to work with, like triple woven rayon velvet *drools*.

My sewing machine is technically older than I am. I belonged to my Mom, but she gave it to me when I started this costuming craze of mine. I get more use out of it then she does, and it was just sitting in her basement.

Anyways, glad you guys really like everything.

Now, if I can just get my hair to grow...

Also an inexpensive resource for homemade Christmas gifts. ;) I only just started a month ago and am still working on my first project, but it's coming along nicely.

Kaylin;
Your hair is perfect with the dress. You did a beautiful job on the dress.

I used to make all my clothes - Jr High through college and continued to sew clothing for my family until it was no longer economical. Now my machine is used for odd things like sewing bike seat covers, bike covers, parade flags, repairing tents, etc.
