Have pattern and fabric
Oct. 29th, 2004 01:33 pmNot sure whether you noticed, but yesterday I deleted the post I'd made the day before, partly because it was a bit of a ramble and partly because I made some purchases that made most of it irrelevant. I was going to add this to yesterday's post but in the end I felt so tired that I just went to bed.
Spotlight was a little bit cheaper than Lincraft, as I had the feeling it would be and joining the VIP club made it cheaper still. I managed to pick up the Simplicity pattern and 4.3m of rose-coloured chiffon for less than $25 in total.
I've had a look at the pattern instructions, and guess what? View C is the skirt of view A. The only difference between them is that view C uses the extra fabric for elastic casing and view A uses it for the bodice. And for my size it's exactly the same yardage.
So I'm thinking that I may as well make view A, which I quite like. It actually reminds me of the balcony pas de deux in Romeo and Juliet, although none of the photos I've seen of that have the flounces on the shoulders so I might leave them off (not sure).
Whilst I'm talking about what they could be used for, it struck me last night that perhaps view B is supposed to be Titania in A Midsummer Night's Dream. At least there's this photo in one of the studios at the VCA of a girl in a mauve dress with coral pink underskirt dancing with a guy with a donkey's head that I'm assuming to be Bottom. It could always be one of Titania's fairies, I guess?
I also got The Very Thought of You (or Martha Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence) on DVD for $9.90. Along with the Spirited Away DVD that I purchased earlier in the year it brings the balance of my nana's gift card down to $1.50. What could I get with that?
