I DO actually have some finished pieces… not just muslin toiles! 😉
This dress was created for the character of Fraulein Schneider in a local university production of ‘Cabaret’.  Although the play is set in 1930/31, I decided to set F. Schneider’s fashion in the mid 20’s – she’s a working class woman, older, and would certainly not be as fashionable as the 19-year old Sally Bowles. 🙂
The pattern had to be graded up for the actress – which really isn’t that much work for these 20’s dresses. 🙂  I used some vintage lace details at the cuff and bodice to bring the dress into the world of the play:
(The ratty jacket in the back is for a different play!)
Can’t wait to see more! I know the long hours in the costume shop, behind closed doors… it does make you want to share. Thanks for doing so, again.
Thank you!
Yeah – the summers are lonely. During the school year I have students, but they’re all gone now! I can’t wait for August when I have them around again…
Your work is faultless, and I love the lace details. Perhaps because I’ve been studying 30’s things this week, with more figure definition and design details – feel sorry that the “older, working class” women of the 20’s didn’t yet have designs and colors to flatter and uplift their spirits a bit more. Thanks for such interesting posts!
This is wonderful, and I have really enjoyed seeing the muslins as well. All of your work is just lovely!
Thanks you for posting your lovely muslins and now finished work. Keep posting. I love to see the beautiful costumes you are making!
Lovely work, So interesting seeing the muslins as well as the finished garments x
I agree – really lovely work; and great to see the pattern, through muslin process and onto the finished outfits.
