Costume Update
Here are a couple of shots of two of the stewardesses in their uniforms. Gretchen is in yellow and Gabriella in green. I didn't notice until after I took the photos that Gretchen had her skirt skewed. She had the zip at the side instead of at the back. There is no front seam! And this was taken before we decided to put the navy trim around the pockets.

Update
I realize I haven't posted in quite some time, so I thought I'd let you all know why! I'm currently involved with one of our local theatres, Langham Court. I'm the costume designer for Boeing Boeing, a mid 60s farce about a young American man living in Paris. He is engaged to three stewardesses, all of whom work for different airlines. So far, Bernard has managed to keep them all separate, but with the advent of a faster airplane, all his careful calculations go out the window, resulting in a hilarious Laugh In style interaction with doors.
Anyway, we've got most of the uniforms done, the men outfitted and two weeks to go till the costume parade, where the Director sees the costumes onstage and under lights, so we can see how they (hopefully) work. Below is a rendition of how the uniforms will look, with a little creative colour change! Actual photos will be posted after the run starts at the end of July.

New Project
For my next project, I am going to try to make the gown Cersei wears in Game of Thrones. The fabric is not the same, so the effect will be different. Below are a couple of photos, including one of Cersei in the dress.

This gives an idea of what the sleeve will look like, but I still have to embellish the lion |

Progress Five- Pirates Dress

Progress Four-Pirates Dress
Getting there after a few hiccups! Bought some trim for the sleeves, but after pinning it on, I decided it was a bit too much, so looking for something a little more muted. Sleeves set in, lining finished and lace on. Tomorrow, the skirt, which involves much pleating and gathering. Also need to do the eyelets. I haven't decided whether to do traditional sewn eyelets, or use grommets.
