For my birthday this year, I wanted to do something a little different. How different? Other worldly different. cubes and I will be "marvel[ing] at the wonders of the pasts that never were, presents not of our Earth, and futures that never will be again" at The All Worlds Fair.
Little did I know visitors to The All Worlds Fair would be requested to wear monochrome, white on black, emphasizing white, with strict checks to ensure adherence.
A quick scan of both of cubes' and my closets reveals few all white options. I have a cream Grecian Goddess style dress from the 1990s, a 1960s Cameo Evening Fashions brocade wedding dress from G. Fox & Co., and a bolt of cream fabric from a never made Emma Frost costume.
Now we could let our fingers do the walking and source a costume from the Internet, but first, what fun is that? And second, we're doing the #havenotwant challenge. This is completely an unnecessary expenditure. So, time to get creative.
What do you think? Can cream pass for white?
Can I finish a vest and pants for cubes as well as my dress by *this* Friday?
Can I finish a vest and pants for cubes as well as my dress by *this* Friday?
As you can see, if I shorten the brocade wedding dress, I have enough material for the front of cubes' vest. (The trick is matching up the repeating brocade rose pattern.) For the back, I'm going to go with black wool that I have left over from a vest I made for cubes for Dapper Day. (I'm using the same pattern.)
Have a strong opinion as to whether or not I should cut the dress? Vote on Seesaw.
Ciao Bella!
