Snow White and the Evil NonStep-Sister

  My last post was all future Regency clothing joy, ahh, glee. Visions of skipping through flower filled meadows in the spring and all that. That was until The Event happened. Yes, my sister has been the cause of this evil. She was supposed to be planning and sewing, to my joy, the costumes that she, my brother and I would be wearing to the Abbey Medieval Fair this year. Her costume ideas are amazing, I constantly find myself jealous of them. In a good way! She is good at creating, I work well from someone else's idea. Hence my love of re-creating movie costumes.

  Anyway, yesterday she announced out of the blue that she had come to the conclusion that she will not get the costumes finished for this year's fair, in two months, and will save them for next year. Eeeek! Luckily I have an outfit I've been dying to sew, and this gives me an excuse to go and Shop For New Fabric. Haha!

  Snow White's dress from Snow White and The Huntsman. I will be making the full length version she only wears for the first part of the movie, but there are no costume shots of that. I know that the overdress is made of green suede, but I can't find any reference for the underdress. I'm thinking perhaps some kind of pale blue cotton. Hmm.

  I am armed with Simplicity pattern #1773, which I will modify to look more like the movie costume. Maybe just using less ghastly fabric will help ... =)

  I only hope I will finish it in time, but I will post pics along the way. If I remember to document my sewing exploits, which I am notoriously bad at.
