the dress I'm making for Intercon

[juldea]

I am making this dress, in dark dark grey, for my 1930's character in Road to Impunity. I don't have any accessories for it, sadly. Having a hat and gloves would be nice.

My character is (let's see what I can say that's not sensitive information) well-acquainted with mobsters, and will be wearing this dress to the funeral of the head of a Family.

I like having reasons to sew. Sewing is fun.

Very stylish. You could probably pick up a hat and gloves at any costume shop.

I'll try to fit in a 'dress rehearsal' (heh, heh) slash photo shoot tomorrow.

Hi, you probably have no idea who I am, but karlean7 says you're cool and keeps mentioning you, so I thought I'd friend ya. 'allo. Nobody in here but us chickens.

Actually I did recognize your avatar and username from karlean7's journal, so hi!

Due to complications of life currently meaning I am unable to keep up with my friends' list as it is, I won't yet be adding you back. This is no indication of your coolness, and well, if you care how cool I think you are, you've got weird priorities anyway. ;)

Hope I provide some measure of interestingness to your LJ experience!

If you have time to run to the mall, Claire's stores (the place with the cheap jewelery) carries gloves.

Generally, however, they carry elbow-length satiny opera gloves. But good idea, and thanks. :)

Thanks for the suggestion - I checked out the store in the financial district, but they only had elbow-length satiny opera gloves. Maybe mall stores have a bigger selection? I found gloves that work from the Garment District anyway. :)

Very stylish indeed, and looks like it'd be pretty simple to make. I want to see when it's done. :)

And, is there a secondhand store around? They often have weird shit (read: old hats and gloves).

Salvation Army or any thrift shop. They have an unbelievable amount of old-time clothes.

If you can't find what you want used, many costume shops carry a variety of new gloves. Boston Costume would be a good places to browse. (:
