the creative doll june 2011 skip to main skip to sidebar thursday june 30 2011 mary kathleen part 5 the finishing touches finally the dress is complete so much sewing figuring drafting and cutting and sewing again and it was complete that felt great i had no idea what i was getting into when i began this ball gown alas there was more to do i created the wig of mohair diligently trying to copy the style of the fashion plate i think that was a success the floral headpiece seemed quite easy after all the embroidery on the skirt i did punch a comb of brass with a punch and attach the silk ribbons and leaves to a florists wire to make the accent complete the earrings simple creations made with an s hook to hang on her ear wires i did have a problem with the necklace however this might be interesting i made the necklace originally on a gold chain it looked beautiful i do not know what doll s do while i am sleeping but that little chain went down into her neck what each time her head turned or i shifted something it would get lost really it took a week for me to figure out to add those pearls and resting that necklace it never occurred to me that the necklace would work its way into the neck join and the breast plate the finished look is pretty and the pearls do add some richness to the look she now needed only to grab her dance card and fan the carriage was waiting one last look in the mirror kathi the dance card posted by michellemahler at 11 47 am 5 comments labels ufdc report friday june 10 2011 mary kathleen part 4 the bodice it was time to fit the bodice and i thought it would be much easier than anything i had done on the skirt au contraire the bodice on this dress also went through many variations i wanted a nice tight fit and slim waistline who of us does not but found myself juggling seams and remaking constantly i wanted the bodice to be authentic but could not find the best way to achieve the result of the lining showing on the turn back i looked at a louise hedrick example and the construction was not even similar what lesson was i missing i read costumes in detail and the janet arnold books and could not find the answers there it was up to me to create everything i could see in the fashion plate and make the garment as correctly as possible the neckline turned out beautiful the chemise lace shows ever so little and matches the rounding wonderfully the hooks in back alternate so there is no specific pulling in any one are while there i spoke with several experts and have learned that i should not have lined this bodice the way i did as that is what is causing some bunching this was the best lesson i learned in speaking with those who know that best way might have been to snip the lining at the center and finish off the edges of the cut area this would have released any pressure and pulling from the inside the linings would also have been apparent in the turn back and i would not have forfeited the style having completed this costume i do believe i can take on other challenges with more success i intend to try it to date however this is the most complicated thing i have made i think it is time to get her accessories and a wig on don t you kathi mendenhall posted by michellemahler at 11 03 pm 3 comments labels ufdc report friday june 3 2011 the creativity of christopher boffoli i stumbled across this
