SFDs, the picspam

[cupcake_goth]

Look! It's grey and cloudy and cool outside, yaaaaaay! It probably won't last, which is a pity.

::shakes head at friends who are sun-worshipping crazy types::

Anyway, here, have some Shallow Fashion Detail picspam.

Shallow Fashion Details: June 30, 2008 Seriously, this is what I call summer wear.

Can you send some of that weather this way?

Stripey skirt! I love it!

[queeniex.livejournal.com]

where did you get the top dress?
is that one you made?

[19-crows.livejournal.com]

I love the top dress too. Pink buttons!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

The top dress is a lucky find off of eBay that I changed the buttons on. I keep hoping I'll find another black linen full-skirted dress, but no such luck yet.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Stripey skirt that I made! All by my self, drafting the pattern and everything!

[fiorituranotte.livejournal.com]

I'm impressed!

[seven-veils.livejournal.com]

I absolutely LOVE the second outfit. It is so freakin' cute! OMG!! :-> I've been dying for something stripy since the Sleepy Hollow movie came out. So far, all I have is the stripy skirt I got from one of L's last sales. I sew, but stripes scare me. EEK! Oh! And I love doing the footless tight with ballet flat myself. I think it's adorable. But then I did graduate high school in 1985, if that tells you anything. ;-)

You're a girl after my own heart. Today as I was running up and down stairs at my un-airconditioned work in 80 degree weather, sweating profusely, I refused to take off my black cardigan. I hate summer and all associated clothes. I wish I could just fast-forward to autumn.

[marc17.livejournal.com]

Careful, I can almost see your knees.

[m-cobweb.livejournal.com]

Short sleeves, no boots--yep, summer wear. :-)

[arian1.livejournal.com]

I like the stripey.

[girlgoth.livejournal.com]

I love the first outfit especially! Where did you get the pink heart pendant you're wearing? Did you make it?

Also, I love all the pink accents. ;D Yay for summer wear!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I did make the pink heart pendant. I found the pink glass heart at Joann Fabrics, and I had the sparkly skull finding stashed away in a box.

[dark-phoenix54.livejournal.com]

Have I ever told you that you are one of my gods?

[girlgoth.livejournal.com]

Nice! I'd love to see it up close some time. :) is the skull on the outside/top?

I have managed to collect quite a few components over the years, all with the intention of putting them together and making things like jewelry/accessories. Good intentions and all that...lol. I just need to sit down and do it! Also, I love having so many crafty friends who inspire me their craftiness - so thank you! :)

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Oh, pish-tosh. :)

(Typed while blushing a brilliant pink, thank you!)

Need your input!

Totally offtopic:

I bought this fabric, which is the awesome:
http://www.hancocks-paducah.com/Item--i-K-7560-1

but it's actually jet black on glaring white. I'd like to overdye it with a very, very light blue-gray so that it's mysterious and foggy looking. I don't have the dyeing skilz, and I have 13 yards and 4 lbs of fabric, so it's a really bad first project.

Do you know any affordable dyers?

[euterpe35.livejournal.com]

ooh I love those stripey legging thingies. Where do they come from?

Also, every time you write "SFD" I think "Seattle Fire Department" and get all uhm... happy.

[imisbehave.livejournal.com]

Where are you getting your black and white stripy fabric? I want to make curtains for the Goob, and I can't find just plain black and white stripes!

Re: Need your input!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I don't know any affordable dyers off the top of my head; I've always dyed smaller amounts of fabric. Have you contacted the helpful folks at Dharma Trading Co.? Yes, they sell dyes and fabric paints, but I bet they might have suggestions for who you could talk to about getting that much fabric dyed.

(And oooh, very neat fabric!)

Re: Need your input!

[jonquil.livejournal.com]

That's a clever idea; I'll check.

It is the Best Fabric Ever.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

eBay is where I get stripey fabric. Display & Costume has b&w stripey (acetate) satin, tho'.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

They're the fishnet stripey tights from Sock Dreams, with the feet cut off.

[icprncs.livejournal.com]

Look at quilting stores, particularly online, such as equilter.com You can often find striped cottons at such places.

[schwarze-krahe.livejournal.com]

see this is why I love you so much...

[x-in-tenebris-x.livejournal.com]

Lovely as always, I wish I had weather that allowed me to dress like that!

Long sleeves in 40°C (104F) is a definite no-no if you do not wish to die a horribly painful sweaty death :P

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

104F!! Oh lord, I would never stop whining. If I hadn't collapsed, that is. You poor creature!
