This dress was made in a rush for a
1920s themed LARP - I ended up playing the nice neighborhodd Granny,
hence the very not wild dress. I had about ten days, lots of books, two
fabric remnants too small to make a dress out of each, and a picture of
a Poiret dress as a distant inspiration. I have almost not pictures of
the making of the dress, and none (at least no correct one) from the
event. The pictures above were taken about a year later, while visiting
the Galliéra 1920s exhibit in period attire with Heileen.
I was in a rush, the dress is a little tight at the neck and not that flattering, and my hair looks terrible in all pictures, but at least I can take pride in the fact that it's fully lined !
