Tailored Jacket.
She's done!
Excuse the lack of makeup.
Going home for Christmas. Dreaming of a white one.
Limelight.
My dress final is done, after many a long sleepless night of suffering.
I don't have photos of it finished, because it has been chosen for the showcase in my studio building.

These five dresses, along with five others from the junior dresses class, will be put on display in VCU's Anderson Gallery in April. I'm gonna be in a gallery!
Blackberries. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
For a recyclable fashion show, I thought I'd try to dye the organic cotton I had left over from an organic show with a dye bath of nothing but pureed beets and blackberries and a little hot water.
First I mixed up three beets and a box of blackberries in a food processor and squeezed that concoction through a foot of nylon tights.
It looks like I killed someone.
Dexter Jess.
It dried a little bit bluer than this. Most of the pigment washed out, but it still left a nice pastel shade of something between pink and periwinkle.
I'm making a corset top out of cardboard coffee sleeves to go with it.
Pictures of the garment soon.
InLight.
Here they are. Thank you to Colin Matthews for the photos and Gracie Draper for modeling.

At the show...
We didn't win. In fact, none of the fashion design girls did. The winners were the crazy, over-the-top, taped together "audience faves". Clearly this wasn't a fashion show, as I had hoped for. It was a 'throw as many lights onto a body as you can' show. I was disappointed with the low caliber of the whole event, but I'm proud as hell of what I created, and I appreciate the love and support of the people who understand what I do.
Jess, out.
Why Darling, You're Glowing!
My submission for wearable art is almost done!
She still needs a zipper, and a little pouch to hide the light battery in.
Fit For A Slutty Princess.
A very short, very tight princess seam dress sample.
I've been wanting to set up an Etsy account, and I'm thinking I want to order either damask or printed (cheaper) woven labels for my stuff. There's a website that does just this, and you send in an image of your label design and the size and quantity you want, and they give you an estimate. I went to alter my little "snip.shop" logo, and ALL OF THOSE FILES ARE GONE. Just... gone. I don't understand why my external keeps eating not only files, but entire folders. The blog banner, the shop banner, the scissor image, everything. That's gonna set me back at least a day, remaking those.
Can't worry about that now, though.
I have so many things to make in the next couple weeks, oh my gods.
The Greater Good.
The shirts are in for the Gulf Coast Wildlife Rescue Fundraiser (what a mouthful) at the Lorton Workhouse.
Find the group on facebook and help revive a delicate ecosystem.
Safari Zone.
100% cotton pleated yoked circle skirt with wooden adornment.
In pieces
Detail
Fully lined yoke
DONE.
Entwife.
I found one!
Sophomore class (plus me) tree skirt day in Maymont Park, Richmond.
Still wish I could have made her a groom, poor dear.
And the whole tree.
Special thanks to my lovely assistant for helping me take the photos and not letting me have a panic attack when the snaps on my veil popped off. I love you.
Nothing, Nothing, Tra-La-La.
Circle skirt with 4" yoke. This is what the skirt of the dress I'm making during spring break will look like. (Only hemmed.)
Baby's First Sleeve.
Inverted box pleat bodice with a puff sleeve! I don't know how the back got so long...
