I have always loved flowy, poofy
dresses that use way too much fabric and are completely impractical. Therefore,
my dream project is Scarlett’s Prayer Dress from Gone with the Wind. I do have a corset and a shift that are from
the correct era, but my hoop skirt needs work (or I just need to sew another
one entirely, I’m not sure), and I don’t have the right shoes. Even worse, the
gown itself uses a ridiculous amount of fabric, and I don’t have a single occasion
to wear it! However, I want to sew this ensemble something awful.
I’m hoping that some ridiculous
costume party or a crazy costumed ball will come up in the future so I have an
excuse to finally toss my hair and say “fiddle-dee-dee” in the right clothing,
but until then I’ll just stick to sketching the pattern and guestimating
yardages in my notebooks!
Just look at how this dress moves, of course I want it!
I've always preferred her curtain dress, or the scarlet woman one. That one is just too 'frilly dee-dee' for me!
