This was such a great find at the Santa Monica flea market. I came across a booth where a woman was selling bags of rayon from the 40's and they were just beautiful. Then, as I was pawing through the fabric, I realized that I recognized the fabric, because I owned a dress made from one piece. It turns out this woman had a shop on Melrose in LA, where she sold these beautiful, handmade dresses. They were REALLY pricey--even the one that I bought which was on sale. Well, she closed her shop, and here was all the fabric! Score!
I have a lot of ideas but right now I am in the process of making some things for a local play called Lagunatics. I'm making a hat like the one Beatrice wore to the royal wedding for a drag queen number. Photos coming when I finish.
