Lady Elaina Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 My new costume.... it still needs some more embroidery.. still working on it!!! The hardest part is the corset underneath all that fabric. I sewed most of this gown by hand so it is almost authentic. cheers mates! Gabrielle

Hunting Hawk Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 That is indeed a beautiful dress lass an' a lot o work. I know because me wife is working on a dress fer me 12 year old daughter like the one young Elizabeth were wearing in the beginning o the movie. I think, therefor I am. Or maybe I just think I am.
Scarlet Jenny Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 Breathtaking! Avast, ye limey lubber! Didn't ye think if Scarlet Jenny (Cutthroat Lass, Scourge o' the Seas, Deadly Duchess o' the Deep) hated ye, ye'd be sliced, skinned an' sunk to Davey Jones' locker? Aaaar! Ye would, and ye'd better start believin' it
capnwilliam Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 Very beautiful! (so's the dress!) Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"

BILLY BONES Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 The impression is even better in that such a beautiful woman is wearing it! You compliment each other. Capt. William Bones Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste, and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard. "This is a handy cove," says he, at length; " and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?" My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity. "Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me." Proprietor of Flags of Fortune.
LadyBarbossa Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 I'm with Billy Bones there, Elaina. Rather charming! It has it's own twist to it. Your own signature. Something that Elizabeth herself would adore. :) Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Lady Elaina Posted March 14, 2004 Author Posted March 14, 2004 thank you all yer most kind! "blushing" The hardest part was finding the material that was nearly exactly like the peices used in the film. I will have to make a second , I will be wearing this one allot. And you really cant breathe much in it.... this part be true. I love you too Nigel :)
imadrunkenpirate Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Me ma made me a dress SOMEWHAT like that.. non as beautiful, of course! I rise me drink te ye, lass! Cabinlass Maggie It'll be the rope's end for that one, me bucko.
Lady Elaina Posted March 14, 2004 Author Posted March 14, 2004 It took forever to get my hair like that. Maggie send me pics to my email I wanna see!!!! Gabby
Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Tis a beautiful dress. Ye will need a large cutlass to keep the boys at bay while wearing it. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
Lucky Penny Hawkings Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Wowie. Very impressive, lady. I was wonderin' where the extra pins were comin' from..*hee* I thought me and Narcissa Malfoy were the only ones on sewin' terms Preparations for CostumeCon and all...her and her hubby! Penny will be a busy lass, to say the least.. "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Hate me because I am robbing you, tossing you overboard, and stealing your ship!" -the only thing more dangerous than her.. is her needle-
LadyBarbossa Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 :) Amen to the hair, Elaina! A pain, isn't it? Worse when it decides it doesn't want to do anything! I use quite a bit of hair pins & Paul Mitchell Freeze & shine hair spritz. Works everytime. Aye, Maggie would love to see pix! & yes, ... I've been keeping my eyes out for the material as well. I found it, however, the only thing it didn't have was the 'border' trim design.. so... that kinda made it not really the exact material. I think they may have made the material special for the movie. Oh! For the nightgown & robe... I know simplicity has a pattern that is Late Victoria/Early Edwardian vintage .. it's rather close to the Elizabeth night gown & robe.. just needs a tad bit of altering.. easy enough. I've bought the pattern myself... just not gotten around to buying any material yet... still debating on material since I wanted to go more by the pattern & make my own gown & robe. Something more comfy for the re-enactments. Elizabeth's gown she wore at the end of the movie would be easy enough to do as well. Been pondering doing that type of dress. Ooooo.. this is fun! Gown ideas! The other hard part, as I've discussed with a couple people.. is the hats & shoes! Going to make a hat for the gown, Elaina? Huzzah! Anastazia Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Zorg Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Wait! There was a dress in that shot? Hafta recheck. Drop a kitten six feet, and she grins...

RyannMacGregor Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 And you really cant breathe much in it.... this part be true. Tis truly a fine piece of stitchery thar!!! Muy bella!!!! As to the breathing part.....I'm sure there be plenty of lads willing to help ye revive in case you fainted, lass. Just a word to the wise....avoid high walls above shorelines. Not everyone's been to Singapore. Captain of The Morrighan.
Lady Elaina Posted March 15, 2004 Author Posted March 15, 2004 Actually I already have the hat, it was made for me. So I am all set to go! I have the dress from the end of the movie as well. It was actually easier for me to make. Gabrielle
Lady Elaina Posted March 15, 2004 Author Posted March 15, 2004 "Blushes" As to the breathing part.....I'm sure there be plenty of lads willing to help ye revive in case you fainted, lass.

Barbados Jack Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Lass; My compliments to a very talented seamstress.
