Its been a while - now that all the Christmas making is done and delivered I have time to create costumes again.
I have started today on another Titania - this one is a more traditional fairy type, floaty and ethereal. I cut out the basic bodice in calico for strength and also in a lining fabric. I have stitched up the calico bodice, leaving the left side open for a zip and cut some rigelene ready to sew on. There will also be a top layer to the bodice, which I can't cut until the skirts are attached as it has to have an uneven hem but still needs to conceal the calico bodice.
Also next Monday I start work as Wardrobe Assistant at a producing theatre, so expect weekly updates about what I get up to there.
