Friends Locking

[padawansguide]

Hi! If you've found me through one of my websites, this is my personal journal. If you want costume news, you won't find it here, it'll be posted on one of my websites: costumersguide.com and padawansguide.com. Please note I am pretty retired from updating both those sites.

I also do have public Facebook pages for both sites. Please feel free to follow me there:
http://facebook.com/costumersguide and http://facebook.com/padawansguide

I also have a twitter account for costumersguide:

And a public blog of my own sewing projects:

Hey Maggie! I just stumbled upon your journal, and seeing as I've been an addict to the Costumers Guide for quite a while I was very happy to see you here! =) I'd love to read your locked costuming posts, if you don't mind!

Hi! Thanks for the kind words about my site! :-) I've added you, if you'd like to add me! :-)

Glad to see someone else loves Marie Antoinette as much as I do! ;-)

Yep, you're added right back! =)
I'm so psyched to see that you've started on the Sleepy Hollow gown! I bummed out on the fabrics I had intended to use for my Dangerous Liaisons gown, so unless I can find another set of equally nice matching fabrics at a fair price, I think I'm doing Sleepy Hollow this fall. So it'll be great to follow your adventures with it! =)

Thanks! :-)

I'm really excited about finally doing the SH gown - I definitely recommend the striped silk taffeta from exclusive_silks - it's fantastic! Let me know if you want a link for it.

It's always fun to see how other people do this gown. I've got one other person on my f-list who is working on one now, and two friends that have done them already! :-)

I have that fabric watched on ebay already ;)
And I'm so glad to hear that you like it - since my boyfriend is traveling to both India and China for work this fall I was thinking of having him buy me some fabric instead of having the exclusive_silks shipped to me. But if it is as nice as it seems (and at quite a good price), I think I might go for it rather than trusting Jo to get it right ;)

Yay - who else is doing the dress? Oh, now I wanna dump my current projects and start on the SH gown, hehe... =)

It's really nice fabric - I was worried about the tray not being dark enough, but it's really a dark charcoal that looks blackish in some light. I wanted it to not be stark black since it looks faded in some pics.

lachwen is also doing the dress currently. And ferdalump and blackpearl_77 have already done it.

There are somep pics of their costumes somewhere on this page!
