Lonely to Organdy

Essa é uma mini capinha que eu fiz do meu mangá favorito.

Eu não usei ela de wallpaper, na verdade eu imprimi ela e a uso como uma capa pro meu kindle, já que eu uso uma capinha transparente, a foto fica de fundo.

Custom Dress worn by Elaine Roebuck to her Bat Mitzvah

Christian Dior

Spring 1957

“It all started when I was twelve years old and I wanted a bat mitzvah. My father said absolutely not — girls didn’t have bat mitzvahs in those days,” Roebuck tells me. “My mother rallied for me and finally my father said OK. The next thing I knew, we were on the train to Montreal to look at my dress.”

The dress in question is a silk organdy masterpiece custom designed by Monsieur Christian Dior himself. Dior did not design for children back in ‘57, but he made an exception. “Not just anyone could go in and say ‘whip me up a dress for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah’ – that wasn’t their business,” says Dr. Alexandra Palmer, the museum’s senior fashion curator. But that’s just what Elaine’s mother, the late Molly Roebuck, did. “She had a motto: If you’re going to do something, you better do it right,” says her daughter. “And in her mind, Dior was just right.” Likely, the exception was made on account of Dior’s relationship with Holt Renfrew, the prestigious high-end retailer with exclusive rights to his collection in Canada back when it launched.

So, with the help of her friend, buyer Betty Macpherson, Roebuck commissioned the dress in Paris. It was to be modest, but fantastical enough for such a special night. After a few months of trading sketches with Dior himself, the muslin models arrived in Montreal, where Dior’s pieces were made-to-measure for the Canadian market. “The dress was dreamlike and it made me think, or maybe even feel, like a princess,” says Roebuck. The end result was a full-skirted silk organdy cocktail dress with daffodil embroidery. As it was a one off, the fabric never appeared in Dior’s collections. “I knew the dress was special, but at the same time, I didn’t think I was different from any of my friends,” she says.

White Organdy Dress, 1860s.

another halloween project from a few years ago, this one 1890s inspired. this was made from silk shantung and black mesh, though many of the mesh components were backed with stiff petticoat net to provide volume.

iirc the skirt was lined with cotton organdy and hemmed with horsehair to give it volume as well, even though there is a petticoat under it, too.

the buttons are actually tiny swarovski skulls and the hat was decorated with feathers from the 1920s!

there are videos of me making it here and here!
