Re-visiting Italy

I decided to make for myself a new Italian Ren gown. All of the Italians I've made in the past for myself I've either eBayed or given away, so I've none left. The one I am making now is inspired by the Ever After gown worn by Drew Barrymore's character at the Masque. Mine, however, is in shades of green.


I chose a beautiful light green/cream brocade with a darker green cotton woven to go undeneath. On the inset of the gown I intend on beading each little "diamond" on the dark green if I have the time. I have some light green seed beads that I could do this with.


The timeline for this is to have it all done by Sunday...and today is Thursday. We shall see! Plus I have a bodice to make for my friend Bev for her to wear with her garb on Sunday as well when we go to the Ren Fair.
