http://www.gildedgarb.com/2014/08/fall-2014-costume-plans.html
Sunday, August 17, 2014. Fall 2014 Costume Plans. While I'm enjoying writing blog posts about old projects - honestly, who knew I put so much work into the Striped Monstrosity - I do have a couple of new projects on the horizon. Since all the cool kids are doing it, I'll chat about what I have planned. First up? I've commissioned the lovely Amy of Creative Chaos. To make death's head buttons for me! Forget the rest of the dress - buttons are where it's at. August 19, 2014 at 7:51 AM. In The Past - Archive.

Gilded Garb: The Striped Monstrosity
http://www.gildedgarb.com/2014/08/the-striped-monstrosity.html
Saturday, August 16, 2014. In case you haven't noticed, I'm posting about my older costumes in 100% random order. I will happily take suggestions for what to feature next. I'm saving all my really embarrassing things for Throwback Thursdays and Ghetto Fridays though! Anyway, today's post is about the Striped Monstrosity. Aw, 2010. The year of my intense 1850s obsession. I blame this dress, but more specifically, I blame this fabric and Katherine of The Fashionable Past. Along the top of the bottom two fl...

Gilded Garb: The Raspberry Truffle
http://www.gildedgarb.com/2014/08/the-raspberry-truffle.html
Tuesday, August 19, 2014. My eldest child started middle school today so to distract myself from feeling old, I'm posting about old fashioned clothing. It makes sense in my head. Let's round out my 1850s obsession with the Raspberry Truffle. The event was a Victoriana tea and even though I already had dresses to wear, I just had to have something new. This was my inspiration:. The bodice was modified from the Laughing Moon Ladies Round Gown. While she finished sewing down binding/hems on mine. That last ...

Friday, August 15, 2014. Ghetto Friday - The 60s Mod Snow White. I'm starting a new thing to follow Throwback Thursday - Ghetto Friday! I am the undisputed queen of last minute ghetto fabulous projects so I'm going to highlight them on Fridays. First up is the 60s Mod Snow White. In 2012, there was a group of people making Disney costumes for the Costume College Ice Cream Social and I wanted in on that action. Originally, I wanted to make this dress:. Aurora and Snow White.

Gilded Garb: The Portrait Dress
http://www.gildedgarb.com/2013/04/the-portrait-dress.html
Saturday, April 13, 2013. Today's post is about the portrait dress, and while I'm fond of this dress, it didn't turn out exactly as I'd hoped. The dress is based on the portrait of Mdme. Mole Raymond by Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun, which I love for its unique combination of teal and purple. Where the original is muted, my version is eye wateringly loud. I regret nothing. Picture courtesy of Aubry. Picture courtesy of Jenny Le Fleur. The rest of my photos can be found here. August 9, 2014 at 8:41 PM. 1770s Rob...
