Older Movies

I don't know why I have never seen Funny Face but I decided to watch it last night and it was wonderful! I recommend it to any Audrey Hepburn or Fred Astaire fan. I loved all of the colors and the singing thrown in wasn't too bad, same with the dancing scenes. The beginning sort of reminded me of the movie Devil Wears Prada, but with singing. I think choosing Paris to have a majority of the movie in was a great decision. 

After watching Funny Face, I started watching Sabrina, starring Audrey Hepburn. It was recommended by Netflix and I figured why not. I only got about half way through, she's at the party after returning from Paris, so I haven't seen the ending yet. I like the movie so far, however I really do wish it was in color. I love the clothes, but I think I would enjoy the costume decisions so much more if they were all in color. I will try and watch the rest tonight, but with the play starting this week I will be working another 12+ hour work week in the costume shop on top of my already busy schedule with classes and actual work where I get paid for my time.

Better Pictures

I have decided to add some more pictures from last year's fashion show. I know it's been a few months (7 months actually) but I just love these pictures and wanted to share them! 

I wrote an article over the fashion show titled Fashion Show Weekend and it covered my experiences, what I took in my bag, a few pictures, and more. Click on the title to read more about it.

The first picture is of my friend, Eric, who is modeling a pair of plaid trouser pants, a grey jersey knit top, and a lined striped vest. The lining and back of his vest is the same satin fabric that is used for the evening dress my friend gabby modeled.

The second picture is of my friend Gabby walking down the runway. I really like this picture because you can see the movement of the bottom of the dress. I chose to sew squares of the satin and chiffon to ribbons and then sew the ribbons in-between the dress and its lining. I love the whole look, from the blinged out earrings and bracelet to the black patent pumps and long gloves. I was going for a fancy Breakfast at Tiffany's feeling to both garments when next to each other. I am thrilled with how both looks turned out and how they look standing together.
