It was so hot today that I wore a halter top, and now I'm in the library and I'm freezing to death. Not particularly pertinent to anything, but there it is.

I played around with my 1914 tester doll dress, and I figured out how to make it work, so maybe I will go ahead with the silk version after all.

Pattern drafting going surprisingly well. Last night I was feeling bold, so I decided to have a go at making a pattern for an Erte dress. Since the dress I had in mind is made out of one piece of fabric, I figured it couldn't be terribly complicated, and it wasn't. It turned out pretty nicely, so now I'll have to look for a fabric that'll be thin enough to drape properly for a doll. I think, in fact, this dress would work much better on a person for this very reason, but I'm afraid of what my mother would say to me using so many yards of fabric on an 'experiment'!

A lot of Erte's dresses are made from one piece of fabric, and I think they're much less complicated than they look. I think I'll have a lot of fun making some!
