22nd July 2018: Sleeves This is a bought shirt, but I didn’t like the shape of the sleeves, which were super poofy!
To fix this I unpicked the top half of each sleeve, cut off the excess, then by sewing a line near the edge of the sleeve on the machine’s longest stitch and pulling on one thread gathered it neatly back in the arm hole.
15th July 2018: Gun Slinger Gown This skirt is covered in a subtle revolver pattern, so I couldn't resist putting together a gun themed ball gown.
Mey-Rin was the winning suggestion so I could wear glasses and tie in with some aspects of her victorian style outfit.
The skirts are actually two skirts stacked together. The first is full length with a train and a plain black waistband, the second is an open front bustle skirt with fancy brass clasps at the front. Underneath is a crinoline and a ruffle edged petticoat to bulk it out.
