Dressform

I don't know what to say. I'm not sure that I really believe that I bought one. It was something I didn't think I would've bought anytime soon. But after my Draping class started and the Head of the Fashion Department BANNED use of the lab other than class use, I found myself in a situation where I was unable to complete assigned homework. I can't tell you how frustrating those few weeks were. And then a search began for a used or old dressform. But luck was not on my side. And after many many many attempts and apparently a sale that I barely missed, I now find myself an owner of a PGM 2008 size 8 dressform.


Though it would have been nice to have gotten one on sale, I was able to get a student discount. I'm not sure if I'll regret this purchase, since it's something I need and will use. But since it wasn't planned and I didn't budget for it, it's still stressful!

Bill Skirt Finale . . Finally

So most of you might have already forgotten about the Bill Skirt. And so did I, until I found this picture of Grip N Flip in the Bill outfit in it's entirety.


There is the skirt you've seen several times already, I also made the long gloves. They came from an old shirt that my stepmom didn't want (recycle reduce reuse!!!). The short gloves came from Hot Topic. And the piece de resistance is the shirt she screen printed herself of Bill's Face. I have some links of the tutorials we used on the right.

Strangely enough since she made this shirt Bill's band Tokio Hotel has gotten air play on MTV. I was very surreal to see them there when months before most people, me included, had never even heard of this German Band.

Apparently the main vocalist Bill and lead guitarist Tom are twins. At first I thought fraternal twins . . but no IDENTICAL. But Bill is so pretty how can they be identical twins you ask?? After careful consideration and observation the answer to that question is: dreadlocks are disgusting and dirty.
